Diet: Puntius arulius are omnivorous and have a diverse diet. They will readily accept high-quality flakes or pellets, as well as live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. They also enjoy vegetable matter, so including some blanched spinach or lettuce in their diet is beneficial.
Temperament: Peaceful
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Puntius arulius are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to feel secure and exhibit their natural behavior.)
Possible types of tank mates: Puntius arulius are generally peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish such as tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and small catfish. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.
Behavior: Puntius arulius, also known as the Arulius Barb, is a beautiful and active species of Barb fish. They have a sleek body shape with a silver to gold coloration and a distinctive black lateral line running along their sides. Puntius arulius are known for their playful and lively nature. They are active swimmers that enjoy exploring the aquarium and interacting with their environment. Being schooling fish, they thrive when kept in groups, which helps reduce stress and allows them to exhibit their natural behaviors. Puntius arulius are relatively hardy and adaptable, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers.
Fun Fact: Puntius arulius is named after Colonel V. Arulius, an Indian ichthyologist who made significant contributions to the study of fish in India. The Arulius Barb is native to freshwater rivers and streams in India and is highly regarded for its ornamental value in the aquarium trade. Its lively and active nature adds a dynamic touch to aquarium setups, and observing a school of Arulius Barbs swimming together can be a captivating sight.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
