ROSY BARB LFIN

The Longfin Rosy Barb, is a long finned morph of the Rosy Barb which has a wide range throughout India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Because of this distribution, there is considerable variation in color and body size of Rosy barbs. For example, some populations may exhibit scales with higher reflectance (shiny) than others. Many of the Rosy barbs available within the aquarium trade are commerically produced however, though this variation can still be found within aquaculture. Rosy barbs typically exhibit sexual dimorphism – males possess the characteristic “rosy” red color in which their name is derived, while females don’t have this coloration and are rather a pale-yellow color.
