Barbs are lively, colorful fish that thrive in groups. They prefer soft, acidic water and are generally hardy. Some species can be nippy, especially in small groups. Choose tank mates carefully and provide plenty of hiding spots. Popular barbs include Tiger Barbs, Cherry Barbs, and Rosy Barbs.
Freshwater puffers are unique fish known for their ability to inflate their bodies. They require specific care, including a well-filtered tank, a diet of hard-shelled foods, and plenty of hiding spots. Some species can be aggressive, so research is crucial before adding them to your aquarium.
