About the Five Banded Barb

Name: Five Banded Barb

Max Size: Five Banded Barbs typically grow to a size of around 2.5 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Five Banded Barbs prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The temperature should be maintained between 72Β°F and 78Β°F.

Diet: Five Banded Barbs are omnivorous and have a versatile diet. They will readily accept high-quality flakes or pellets as their staple diet. Supplement their diet with small live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms to provide them with a varied and balanced nutrition.

Temperament: Five Banded Barbs are generally peaceful and can be kept in community aquariums with other non-aggressive fish species. However, they may exhibit some fin-nipping behavior towards long-finned or slow-moving tank mates. Ensure proper space and hiding spots to minimize aggression.

Tank Setup: Provide a well-decorated aquarium with plants, rocks, and driftwood to create hiding places and mimic their natural habitat. Five Banded Barbs appreciate open swimming areas and a sandy substrate. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are important to maintain good water quality.

Compatibility: Five Banded Barbs can be kept with other small and peaceful community fish. Avoid keeping them with fin-nippers or aggressive species. Consider their small size and peaceful nature when selecting tank mates.

Behavior: Five Banded Barbs are active swimmers and display vibrant colors, including five prominent black bands along their body. They are known for their playful and lively behavior, especially when kept in a group. They prefer to swim in the middle and upper levels of the aquarium.

Fun Fact: Five Banded Barbs are popular among aquarists for their striking appearance and active nature. The five black bands that run across their body create a unique pattern, making them an eye-catching addition to any aquarium. Their active schooling behavior adds movement and liveliness to the tank, making them a delight to watch.

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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
