	Those bold and beautiful barbs, by Terry Ranson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Since the fl ruby barbs he'd seen in pet shops were immature, and therefore were not in their prime color, he assumed I must have done something special to get these "plain" fish to look so attractive.
		Barbs are in the family Cyprinidae, the largest group of fishes extant, and the group which comprises the carps and minnows, and includes the common goldfish, rasboras and danios.
		Barbs are largely omnivorous, and dried commercial flakes are eaten with gusto.

	Black Ruby Barb
		When in color, the male of the Black Ruby Barb is a beautiful fish in which the bright red of the front part of the body is set off against the deep fl of the rear portion and the fins.
		Sexes are not difficult to distinguish, because the fl bars on the male and the fl in his fins is always more crisp and distinct than in the female, even when he is not showing his best colours.
		The Black Ruby Barb spawns in typical Puntius fashion, but the fish requires a larger tank than its size would indicate.

		The males are very colourful with a deep red head and fl fins, the females don't have much colour.
		Like all Barbs this is a very active lively fish we does best when in the company of it's own kind.
		They should have places to hide as this will make them feel more secure and their colours will heighten when the lighting is subdued and if the substrate is dark in colour.

	The Minnows Called Barbs, Danios & Rasboras
		Barbs, Danios and Rasboras all belong to the minnow family, Cyprinidae ("Sigh-prin-id-ee").
		Barbs come in two general classes behaviorally; the smaller, peaceful variety, and the fin-nipping, zooming around boisterous kinds.
		The Danios, Rasboras and Barbs are hardy, beautiful, active, easy to breed and peaceful for the most part, and because of all these traits, relatively inexpensive and readily available.

		The cherry barb was from the island country of Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon) it has been considered extinct in the wild for about 10 years.
		This is not the only aquarium fish now gone from the wild in fact another barb from Sri Lankan waters is extinct from the wild and that’s the fl ruby barb (Barbus nigrofasciatus) again luckily we have aquarium stock.
		The cherry barb known scientifically as Barbus titteya is a very easy to breed Cyprinidae and was the first egglayer which I watched spawning in my community tank at the age of six.

	The Skeptical Aquarist
		Black Rubies originally came from Sri Lanka, where the IUCN "Red List," 1998, listed the species as "vulnerable." Sri Lankan law technically prohibits their export, but there isn't much official control.
		Now Black Rubies will truly deserve their name: the males' color at breeding time darkens to a deep fiery cherry red overlaid with fl, with a bright cherry head.
		The Cherry Barb is a small barb (up to 2 in.) that might not be comfortable in the rowdier company of a mixed barb tank.

	Beware the Little Nippers
		Many of the schooling barbs, tetras and danios exhibit a tendency to nip at least occasionally, but few fish are as predictably nippy as tiger barbs.
		Fin-nipping seems to be much less of a problem if fish are kept in bigger groups; even tiger barbs seem to be quite content to chase around a dozen of their own kind and ignore the other fish.
		In addition to the tiger barbs (in all their color varieties, including albino, blushing, green and fl), only a few of the other barbs are likely to nip - most commonly the fl ruby barb and sometimes the clown barb.

	The Cyprinidae Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The popularity of barbs is quite justifiable as they offer the fishkeeper a range of fishes suitable for all sizes of aquarium.
		Due to its tendency toward shyness, the Cherry Barb is suitable for the smaller aquarium and prefers being kept with fishes of similar size.
		The large Black Shark is quite peaceful, content to rummage around the aquarium browsing on algae but, like the larger "barbs" it stirs up the water currents with its movements.

		fl stripe extends along the side of the body from the snout through the eye and into the caudal fin, where it tapers to a pount before it reaches the fork of the caudal fin.
		The long fl stripe is also easy to see in young fishes, but the scale edge pattern and zig-zag edges are not clearly visible until the fish reaches the length of 5-7 centimetres.
		The rays near the base of the dorsal fin are fl and there is another dark band in the upper part of dorsal.

		Barbs are a very diverse group of fish primarily from Southeast Asia, though the minnow family is related and can be found over much of North America and Europe.
		Most barbs are schooling fish with preferences of groups of six or more with at least 2 females per male to keep fighting to a minimum.
		In general barbs can tolerate most water, though they seem to prefer a pH of 6.5-7.5, and low to moderate hardness.

		They are not as nippy as Tiger Barbs, but long-finned tankmates need not apply.
		Black Rubys are one of the more overlooked barbs, for their coloration isn't as distinct as Tiger barbs.

		Another plus is that these barbs are really peaceful fish, with only very tiny fish being at a risk.
		The males are the real gems and it is believed that they colour up best if there are more males then females.
		Generally this is an underrated fish because it is tainted with the reputation of its look alike, the Tiger Barb, which has a bad reputation of being 'Nippy'.

	Hardy fish for new freshwater aquariums.
		The one other exception is the Cherry Barb, which is not only one of the smallest Barbs, but in our experience, seems to be the most delicate of the commonly available species.
		Silver-scaled Barbs such as the Tinfoil Barb (and Bala "Sharks") are also not as hardy and tend to not tolerate ammonia nearly as well.
		In our experience, and from other literature we've read, this is an intentional act, and adults of this fish have been known to prefer the slime coat of fish to algae.
