Aquarium fish

Barbs are beautiful, cheerful, and very interesting fish to watch. Their behavior is somewhat reminiscent of dogs. Watching them move quickly around the aquarium, wagging their tails and poking their noses into every crevice, makes you want to call them "mongrel" rather than "barbs." They are popular with beginning aquarists due to their low maintenance. They aren't particularly picky about water quality, will eat any food, and rarely get sick. Keeping these aquatic creatures is easy, especially if you consider their activity level and choose the right tankmates.
