My Tinfoil Barb Shack of love.

[Redearsunfish]

It's in my fishroom on my fishroom work bench over my tackle boxes.

I like tinfoil barbs, what with thier chin barbels and big eyed stares. They're always giving me the stink eye, when i'm changing the water in another tank in my showroom. I always think they would be foul-mouthed if they could speak, swearing like sailors and cavorting with swordtails and catfish, chin barbel wrestling and such and so forth.

lol thx man, yeah were really cool but they were pigs! they made it hard to feed certain "bottom feeders" as these guys would eat the food before it hit the ground! they are at Exotic, in thier big tank if you interested

Barbs remind me of that guy in star wars, the "it's a trap" guy.

I have had three red tailed tin foil barbs for around a year now. They went from 2" to 5" in under a year. I love them, they are the most active fish in my aquarium.

Mine are the Albino ones.

From my knowledge I believe they are capable of reaching 14".
