Gold Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona – Gold Morph)
The Gold Tiger Barb is a vibrant color variant of the classic Tiger Barb, showcasing a rich golden-yellow body with dark vertical stripes. Energetic and eye-catching, these barbs are known for their active schooling behavior and playful nature. While they add excitement and color to community tanks, they can be fin-nippers, so it's best to keep them in larger groups (6 or more) to diffuse any aggressive tendencies and avoid tank mates with long, flowing fins.
