Tinfoil barbs are heavy herbivores that will eat or shred soft and live aquarium plants

Description

Barb Tinfoil Gold Red Tail

Is an active, and peaceful schooling fish with  golden-silver body and bright red fins, that grow up to 12–14 inches long. They need large tanks (125+ gallons) live for 8 to 10 years  and fast moving and robust tanks mates of a similar size so as not to stress slower tank mates with their high energy.
