 | | The Five Banded Barb, also known as the Hexazon Barb, is a golden color with six fl bars running vertically on each side of the body. |
 | | It is best when trying to breed the Five Banded Barb to provide coarse gravel in the breeding tank, and after the eggs have been laid, remove the parents. |
 | | Ideal tank mates include: Tetras, Barbs, Gouramis, Guppies, Platies, Mollies, Swordtails, Rainbowfish, Discus, Angelfish, South American Dwarf Cichlids (such as Rams and Apistogrammas), Plecos, Catfish and Loaches. |
