-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 20 gallons for a small group of Glo Barbs. They thrive in shoals, so keeping six or more is recommended.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 74-78°F (23-26°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.0, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Regular water changes help maintain optimal conditions.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with live or silk plants, a dark substrate, and open swimming areas. Glo Barbs are active swimmers and appreciate a well-decorated tank.
-
Tank Mates: They are peaceful and do well with other small, non-aggressive community fish that share similar water parameters. Keep them in a group for best results.
-
Diet: Glo Barbs are omnivores, accepting high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and micro worms. A varied diet is important.
