Diet: Cherry Barbs are omnivorous and have a versatile diet. They will readily accept high-quality flake foods, but it's recommended to supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia, and small insects. They also appreciate the occasional offering of vegetable matter like spirulina-based flakes or blanched vegetables.
Temperament: Peaceful
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Cherry Barbs are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to create a natural social structure and minimize stress.)
Possible types of tank mates: Cherry Barbs are peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. Suitable tank mates include other small tetras, rasboras, peaceful gouramis, dwarf cichlids, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive fish that may harass or stress them.
Behavior: Cherry Barbs are vibrant and active fish that add a splash of color to the aquarium. They are known for their deep red coloration, which intensifies during courtship displays and when they are well-fed and healthy. Cherry Barbs prefer a well-planted aquarium with open swimming spaces and the addition of driftwood or other hiding places. They exhibit schooling behavior and thrive when kept in a group, displaying synchronized swimming and engaging in playful interactions. They are generally peaceful but males may occasionally engage in minor territorial disputes, which are typically short-lived and harmless.
Fun Fact: Cherry Barbs are native to Sri Lanka, where they inhabit slow-moving streams and rivers. They are named for their cherry-red coloration, which resembles the vibrant color of ripe cherries. In the wild, their bright color serves as a form of communication and a display of health and vitality. Interestingly, female Cherry Barbs have a more subdued coloration with a golden or silver hue. These fish are known to be resilient and adaptable, making them an excellent choice for beginner fishkeepers. With proper care and a suitable environment, Cherry Barbs can live for several years and provide endless enjoyment with their active behavior and beautiful colors.
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.
