The Green Tiger Barb, Moss-banded Barb, or Moss Barb is one of the most notable color morphs or varieties of the regular Tiger Barb. They are truly striking with a deep fluorescent green or blue-green body coloring. Their aquarium requirements, behaviors, care and feeding are the same as their parentage. Like all of their cousins they do best kept in a group of 6 or more, and they are lively and active so need plenty of room to swim. They are hardy and a great fish for beginners, though they can be nippy with their tank mates.

For a very attractive effect in your aquarium try adding some pretty Green Tiger Barbs to a school of regular Tiger Barbs. They provide a nice contrast of swift moving, darting color! Mixing even more varieties works equally well and creates a really exciting effect. Some of these include the Longfin Tiger Barb, and the Albino Tiger Barb.

Though when mature, their colors do tend to fade a bit, a school of these playful and attractive fish in a nice sized aquarium makes an awesome display!
