Overview

Panda Barbs are supplied under Petra’s trade name Barbus melanampyx. We retain Haludaria sp. pending confirmation of the precise form. Supplied size: 3–4cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

An active shoaling barb sold by Petra as Barbus melanampyx (panda). Keep a group of at least eight; the trade name covers fish in the Haludaria fasciata group.

Tank Size

We recommend at least 100 litres with an 80–90cm or longer base, planted edges and open swimming space. Plan for approximately 8cm adults.

Compatibility

Choose similarly sized, peaceful companions. Provide vegetable foods to reduce nibbling of tender plants.

Diet

Offer varied omnivore foods with vegetable ingredients and suitable small frozen invertebrates.

Care

Maintain stable water around 24–26°C with good filtration and oxygenation. Exact taxonomic identification of this supplier form remains to be confirmed. Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
