| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:A shoaling fish that should be kept in groups of 5 or more. Can be kept with other peaceful, but robust, community fish. Do not keep with slow-moving long-finned fish such as [[Angelfish]]. Like most barbs, can be a bit nippy, and probably should not be kept with long-finned fish. Their fin nipping tendency is worse if there are less than 5 in the group. | |
| − | + | |diet=Typical small omnivore, will eat most types of food that slowly sinks including pellet and flake as well as live/frozen food such as [[brine shrimp]] and [[bloodworm]]. | |
| − | = | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day a small quantity of food. |

They will need an aquarium with lots of middle level horizontal swimming room. Provide tall plants for cover. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:These are school fish that do best in groups of five or more. Groups of smaller size tend to be more aggressive fin nippers. In any size group they like to nibble on aquatic plants.These fish are enthusiastic eaters and will feed on just about anything they can get in their mouths. They spend a good amount of time rooting around the substrate looking for bits of food. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Often mistaken for a [[:Category:Tetras|Tetra]]-like fish when small, these golden yellow fish have red-tinted fins, a highly reflective upper body with black patches along their flanks with the males having a more patchy line. | |

:Other colour strains that have emerged include [[albino]], discovered in the 1970s by Dennis Wilcox in USA, pure gold with no black markings, first observed by Stanislav Frank in late 1960s/early 1970s in Eastern Europe, pink/white (flesh) with black markings, this appeared in the 1990s, and tri-colour, head and caudal peduncle have white/pink (flesh), while the back is in the original normal gold with black speckle markings. | :Other colour strains that have emerged include [[albino]], discovered in the 1970s by Dennis Wilcox in USA, pure gold with no black markings, first observed by Stanislav Frank in late 1960s/early 1970s in Eastern Europe, pink/white (flesh) with black markings, this appeared in the 1990s, and tri-colour, head and caudal peduncle have white/pink (flesh), while the back is in the original normal gold with black speckle markings. | ||
