Mascara Barb

Mascara Barbs are an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a unique and active species to a larger community setup. With their vibrant markings, schooling behavior, and relatively easy care requirements, they make a visually appealing addition to planted tanks with peaceful tank mates. Proper care, a balanced diet, and clean water will help ensure they live long, healthy lives in the aquarium. Provide plenty of plants, rocks, and driftwood to mimic their natural riverine environment. They appreciate hiding spots and natural decor, which also helps bring out their colors.
