The GloFish Sunburst Orange Barb is a bright, genetically modified freshwater fish known for its fluorescent orange color, which is inherited and not painted on. These are active, schooling fish, and it is recommended to keep them in groups of five or more to prevent nippy behavior. They are hardy and share the same care requirements as traditional tiger barbs, which includes a tropical tank temperature and a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and frozen foods.
Key characteristics
Color: Genetically engineered to have a vibrant, fluorescent sunburst orange hue.
Behavior: Active, schooling fish that will hang out in the mid to upper levels of the tank.
Social needs: It is important to keep at least five in a group to prevent aggression and nipping.
Diet: Should be fed a varied diet of flake food, small pellets, and occasional frozen foods.
Care requirements
Tank setup: They thrive in well-decorated tanks.
Water temperature: Keep the water between 76−80°F.
Lighting: Their fluorescent colors will be brightest under blue or white LED lights, especially blue "actinic" light.
Compatibility: Generally a good addition to a community tank, but can become aggressive if not kept in large enough groups.
