Denison Barb
The Denison Barb, also known as the Red Line Torpedo Barb or Rose Line Shark, is a popular freshwater fish that is native to the Western Ghats mountain range in India. These fish have a distinctive red stripe that runs along their sides, and they are highly sought after for their striking coloration. Denison Barbs are relatively large, reaching a maximum size of about 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are active and social fish that do best in groups of at least six individuals. They are also peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish species in a community aquarium. Denison Barbs require high levels of oxygenation and a strong water flow, so a well-filtered aquarium is important. Overall, the Denison Barb is a beautiful and active fish that can make a stunning addition to a community aquarium. However, due to their size and active nature, they require a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming room.
