Here at Aquarium Pro we are able to special order in freshwater fish, saltwater fish, coral, pond fish as well as aquarium and pond supplies for our customers to be picked up in store. We also have a large selection of second hand tanks and supplies in store for our customers. We do not ship fish or products directly to customers and we try to place our special orders at the same time as our regular shipments. Tropical fish & products you see on our website are there for your reference so you are able to see what we can order, not what we currently have in stock. That does not guarentee that our suppliers will currently have what you are looking for but if they do then we will get it special ordered in for you. Pictures you see would be of that type of fish not the exact fish we would be ordering in. If the fish shows out of stock that does not mean we do not currently have it in store so feel free to give us a call at the shop so we can verify for you. We are in the process of getting our inventory updated so online quanities will eventually be able to accurately display what quanities we have in store. We require a minium non refundable 50% deposit for special orders once we verify the supplier does have them in stock. If none of our suppliers have it in stock then we will issue a refund with 7 days. We ask that special orders be picked up within a week of arrival or we offer quarantining services for special order fish at $15 a week per tank.
 
The dazzling Gold Barb has been a treasured member of community aquariums for decades. The Gold Barb has a mostly gold-colored body with small, dark or black patches running down the lateral line. As the Gold Barb matures, the fin coloration develops into a striking red/orange. In addition to its gorgeous coloration, the Gold Barb boasts numerous desirable characteristics sure to please any beginning hobbyist.
The hardy Gold Barb tolerates a wide range of water parameters, maintains a relatively small size, and gets along with most tankmates. The Gold Barb is not as aggressive as other barbs and will fare well in community aquariums along with other peaceful, similarly sized, short-fin fish. The Gold Barb is a social fish best kept in groups of 6 or more. As with other barb species, the female Gold Barb is fuller bodied than the male. Classified as an omnivore, the Gold Barb benefits from a varied diet of flake, pellet, and small frozen foods, such as mosquito larvae, daphnia, and brine shrimp.
