List of Red Freshwater Fish

[ss720]

I thought making several threads with people posting pictures and some basic info on fishes based on their colors.

Fantastic idea. I don't know how many times I have thought this tank needs a little of this color or that. Wonder what i should get.

I would add to your list
Cherry Barbs
Betta Splendid
Ruby Barb
Platy
Sword Tail
different Peacock Cichlids
Cardinal tetra
Blood Parrot
red tiger motoguense

What about red asian aro morphs/flowerhorns? Or do those not count cause they're morphs of a species that isn't necessarily red?

 

[ss720]

As long as it's a freshwater fish and it contains the color red, it counts.

Please only contribute to this thread by providing photos and basic info.
If some info is wrong or false, please PM me and i'll add/change.


Latin name:
Puntius titteya

Common name:
Cherry Barb

I have those Irian rainbows, they can get intensely red.
Don't have any pics of super red fish to share unfortunately and I feel it would be better to share your own fish instead of google images.
Lets keep them coming guys! where are the red texas?
