Black Ruby Barb

The beauty of the Black Ruby Barb is so great that it nearly caused its demise in nature. Discovered in Sri Lanka, this popular Barb was over-fished to near extinction. Fortunately captive breeding has kept these lovely fish alive, and available to grace your aquarium. If you are looking for a peaceful fish to keep with other Barbs, the Ruby Barb is worth considering.

Have you kept Black Ruby Barbs? If so, please share your thoughts and experiences.
