Black ruby barbs! I love them! I am surprised they don't seem to be that popular! I have 6 of them in my barb tank! Hey what is the name of that long leafy plant in the background?

[larialea]

Black Rubys are beautiful... not nippy like the tigers. the plant in the background is a common giant Valnesairia. the leaves grow 6 feet or longer,and they float on the surface which blocks alot of the light but the fish love it. It's the only plant i found that the barbs did not eat!! One plant produces runners under the substrate and sooner than you think you have a whole tank full of them

Thanks! That is Val! Oh the leave seemed to thick! I have val but does not grow well like yours! Think I have to change the substrate.

You should try growing Java Fern. I have found that my barbs leave it alone.

well I had java fern and anubias as well in that tank and those darn barbs actually ate both of them. I have no idea why .... they are both "bitter" tasting plants to most fish.
