Albino Cherry Barb
1. Tank Setup
- Size: A 20-gallon (75 liters) aquarium is ideal for a small group of Albino Cherry Barbs.
-
Water Conditions:
- Temperature: 74–80°F (23–27°C)
- pH: 6.0–8.0 (neutral to slightly alkaline)
- Hardness: Soft to medium water hardness (5–15 dGH)
- Substrate: Fine gravel or sand with some live plants (they enjoy planted tanks) and areas of open swimming space.
- Filtration: Moderate filtration is necessary; they prefer well-oxygenated water but avoid strong currents.
2. Diet
- Feeding: Albino Cherry Barbs are omnivores. Provide a varied diet including high-quality flake food, freeze-dried bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable matter like spinach or spirulina.
- Feeding Schedule: Feed them small amounts once a day or once every other day.
3. Behavior and Tankmates
- Temperament: Peaceful and social fish. Keep them in groups of at least 5–6 to reduce stress and encourage natural schooling behavior.
- Tankmates: Ideal for community tanks with non-aggressive species such as tetras, rasboras, or peaceful catfish.
- Avoid: Larger, aggressive fish that may bully or harm them.
4. Breeding
- Mating: Albino Cherry Barbs are egg layers. They may breed naturally in a well-maintained tank. You may want to provide a breeding tank with plants or spawning mops for the eggs to hide in.
- Fry Care: Remove adults after spawning to protect the eggs and fry. The fry will need finely crushed flake food or infusoria.
5. Health and Maintenance
- Water Changes: Perform regular water changes (about 25% weekly) to maintain water quality.
- Common Issues: Albino Cherry Barbs are hardy but may be susceptible to common fish diseases like ich or fin rot. Keep the water clean and monitor their behavior.
6. Lifespan
- Lifespan: With proper care, Albino Cherry Barbs can live 3–5 years in a well-maintained aquarium.
