Pentazona Barb / 5 Banded Barb, also known as Desmopuntius Pentazona, are great peaceful community fish. They have unique stripes that look similar to Tiger Barbs, but with a more intricate coloration of orange and dark green.
Males have richer body color and redder fins, while females are slightly larger and more rounded. Ideally kept in groups of 6 or more with quieter tank mates, in a pH of 7 or lower. Breeding requires a separate breeding tank.
These sensitive fish thrive in mature aquariums and are prone to White Spot when stressed.
