Hello,

There are many types of barbs fish. Tiger barb, cherry barb, rosy barb, gold barb, checker barb, fiveband barb and many more.

When kept alone or even with only one other Barb , this fish will become timid and skittish. In a group of less than 8, Barbs will behave aggressively with the other fish in your tank. They are at their best in groups of 8 to 12, and they are extremely playful and social with each another.

I hope this will help you.

All the best!!
