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 Green Tiger Barb's main body is deep fluorescent green with silver/gold blotches and orange accented fins. They are a very lively, playful fish that prefers to be in schools.
They prefer a well-planted tank of at least 30 gallons with soft, slightly acidic water. Rocks and driftwood can be added to the aquarium, but leave plenty of space for swimming. The Green Tiger Barb is a very active fish that may pester or even nip the fins of larger, slower moving fish.
It is best, when trying to breed the Green Tiger Barb, to house a number of Barbs in the same aquarium until they pair off. After a pair has developed, the female will lay the eggs and the male will follow behind to fertilize. The fry will be free-swimming after about 5 days. Feed the fry newly hatched brine shrimp until large enough to accept crushed flake food.
The Green Tiger Barb needs to be fed a variety of foods including vegetables as well as meaty foods. Feed a quality flake food as well as live and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.
