Green Tiger Barb 3cm (Group of 10)

The Green Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona var.) is a stunning colour form of the classic Tiger Barb, displaying a rich iridescent green to teal body with dark banding that shimmers beautifully under aquarium lighting. The metallic green colouration gives this variety a more sophisticated, jewel-like appearance compared to the standard orange form, while retaining all the same lively energy and schooling behaviour that makes Tiger Barbs such a popular aquarium fish. Sold as a group of 10 for optimal schooling behaviour.
