Longfin Cherry Barb or Puntius titteya
Longfin Cherry Barb or 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.
