I finally got a pair of black ruby barbs. One is much brighter than the other so far. Here's a picture of the brighter one.

Very pretty fish. Congrats!!

thanks! It must be a male/female thing, because the other one doesn't blush much at all.

I can only find them one place for now, but they are gorgeous and peaceful. Now all I need is some goldies.

Very nice fish, I wouldn't mind adding some to my rosey barb school =)

well right now my roseys, black rubys, albinos and neon roseys are schooling with the light on with the new tank. My wimpy tigers are still freaked out by the new tank every once in a while with the light on and hike in the corner. Heck, even the pictus is coming out. Tigers aren't that tough.

This is just a guess, but I think the clown loaches think they are tiger barbs.

It must be the strips.
