Drape Fin Barb Fish

Drape Fin Barbs are peaceful fish that show off a tall, flowing dorsal fin that catches the eye. They swim calmly and won’t chase their tank mates away from food, making them a great choice for any community aquarium. These barbs feel most at home in a planted tank where they can explore and hide. These fish grow to just 2 inches, so they fit great in any community tank. They do best in groups, if you want to see their true colors and natural behavior when they swim together.
