| Male in the front, female in the back |
The rosy barb is an active fish that prefers to be in groups of 6 or more. They can get to 5'', although mine only got to about 3''. They are great eaters and will eat mostly any fish food you put in the tank. Although they eat their fry, I found I could get fry and raise them by putting up a divider. The fry swim through the little holes to the safe side, where I feed them frozen baby brine shrimp. I managed to get quite a few fry to sellable size using this method. I'm not sure if pH plays a part in determining the male to female ratio of the offspring (like it does with some fish), but I got a lot of females and only a few males.
