Albino Cherry Barb 2.5cm (Group of 5)

The Albino Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya var. albino) is a peaceful and attractive colour form of the popular Cherry Barb, displaying a soft golden-cream to pale pink body with a gentle iridescence and red-tinted fins. Males develop a warmer, more flushed colouration when in breeding condition, adding a delicate rosy glow to the aquarium. Unlike the more boisterous Tiger Barb, Cherry Barbs are calm and non-aggressive, making them one of the best barb species for peaceful community tanks and planted aquascapes. Sold as a group of 10.
