Brighten your aquarium with the enchanting Golden Dwarf Barb (Pethia gelius), a delightful freshwater fish known for its shimmering golden hue and lively personality. Reaching a maximum size of just 1.5 inches, this small but striking fish is ideal for nano tanks and community aquariums, where it can showcase its vibrant colors against lush green backdrops.

The Golden Dwarf Barb thrives in schools, so keeping them in groups of six or more will encourage their natural behaviors and create a captivating display as they swim and interact. 

Golden Dwarf Barbs are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
