Odessa Barbs

[boldtogether]

One of the doctor's office, at the hospital I work at, has an aquarium with full grown Odessas and they are beautiful fish. Apparently, these fish are a fairly rare find in my area.

I have seen them at the PetStore near me once and the lfs in the same plaza has them alot. I think they are cool looking tetras.

I certainly can't imagine them being so big, had mine a couple of months and they are the same size as small tiger barbs; we will see what happens lol

those are nice fish! how big do they get? I'm looking for a barb of some kind for one of my tanks...I need something that will pick the uneaten pellets up haha.

Should definitely try these

The melon barbs remind me of Spanner Barbs or T-barbs, in appearance; I used to have a pair of spanner barbs, they were awesome, big bodied fish with tonnes of energy and characteristics of barbs (obviously)
