Description
Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya)
These Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya) are quite exquisite red fish. The appear more orange under a regular light like in the photo, but if you put them under a plant spesific light like a Chihiros, the colour changes to a blood red once these fish reach maturity. That is quite something to behold.
Feeding:
We feed our Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya) Hikari Micro Pellets, but Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu is a great food for these guys.
*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client, we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy.

Im looking forward to our Cherry Barbs colour changing to the deep red as they grow older. Ive recently started purchasing at McMerwe and its been nothing short of a great experience. The staff are friendly and always willing to assist.

It was my fist time buying on mcmerwe and i would do it again
Verified owner Angus Mclean (verified owner) –
This was the first thing I ever bought from mcmerwe and its safe to say the whole experience will definitely keep me coming back. I lost my passion for these little underwater ecosystems after too many bad experiences with South African retailers (poor quality, unhealthy plants/fish). Now that I have found mcmerwe its given me the confidence to create again. I’ll definitely be back to get supplies for a whole new aquascape. Beautiful fish to add to a planted tank for the pop of deep red against the green plants, the fish were all in excellent health and are all doing well in my tank.
