Copper Head Rosy Barb
Product Details
Rosy Barbs are often described as “peaceful but busy.” They make excellent tankmates for other sturdy, mid-sized fish that enjoy open water—species like Danios, Rainbowfish, Silver Dollars, or larger Tetras. They also pair well with bottom-dwellers such as Corydoras, Loaches, and Plecos, who generally ignore their activity.
When it comes to invertebrates, though, things are less clear. Are Rosy Barbs shrimp safe? The answer depends on what you expect. Adult shrimp and larger snails usually avoid trouble, but tiny or freshly molted shrimp are at real risk of being picked off. Shrimp fry, in particular, won’t survive in a Rosy Barb tank. If you’re hoping to build a thriving shrimp colony, these fish aren’t the right neighbors. They’re much better suited to living alongside snails or in tanks where shrimp aren’t the focus.
Where things really go wrong is with slow-moving or delicate fish. Bettas, Angelfish, and Fancy Guppies are all poor matches, as their long, flowing fins invite chasing and nipping. The key to success is choosing companions that can handle the Rosy Barb’s pace and keeping them in a proper group to spread out any mischief.
- Tank Size: A 20-gallon tank is a minimum, but 30 gallons or larger is better for a school.
- Water: Tolerates a range of conditions but prefers temperatures between 64-78°F (18-25°C) and neutral pH.
- Decor: Needs open swimming areas with plants (live plants are great, but avoid delicate ones they might nibble) and substrate for security.
- Diet: Omnivores that readily accept flakes, pellets, and frozen/live foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms.
