Tinfoil Barb
Barbonymus schwanenfeldii
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A large, active barb from Southeast Asia that can reach 14 inches, featuring a bright silver-gold body with red fins — spectacular but requiring a tank of 125+ gallons for a single adult and proportionally larger for the school of 5+ it needs. It will consume plants and eat smaller tankmates, so it is best kept in a species or large fish community tank.
