Rosy Barbs - Barbus conchonius - Perhaps the most peaceful of the mid-sized (3"-4") barbs towards unrelated fish. Males become bright red, while females remain olive or gold: both sexes have a prominent black spot near the base of the tail.
SYN: Barbus conchonius, Cyprinus conchonius, Systomus conchonius
PD: The Rosy Barb has no barbels and has slight lateral compression. The back is copper to green-gold. The flanks are bright orange to red and metallic looking.
Breeding: A bit more difficult than for example Barbus conchonius. Soft acidic water, pH around 6 and dGH below 10, and clean water is required. In such a tank a pair should be added.
