- Today's video is a care and breeding guide on the Denison Barbs. They are beautiful schooling fish, they have great color and a peaceful temperament.
Due to their temperament, coloration, and behavior, they are compatible tank mates with some American cichlids. Tank mate options that will usually work well are Angelfish, Severums, Electric Blue Acaras, and barbs or tetras.

You don't realize how big these fish really get until you see fully grown ones. These guys are also on my big tank bucket list.
I got 5 4-5" ones yesterday at my LFS and after getting them home I should have got smaller ones lol.
These fish are so underrated, great video guys. One of the best schoolers for large communities.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Great fish! I’ve had a group for around 7 years. I’ve kept many interesting fish, but every time I show my tanks to someone, they always want to know about the Denison Barbs. They look great and they never stop moving.
I love watching these Roseline Sharks either. I have 10 of these fish at my home aquarium.😊🐟
Very nice!
Great timing, just picked up another 3 of the Dennison barbs to add to my group of 6 for the 180 gallon, such a stunning fish!
Awesome!
Troy yes these guys are amazing. I saw these in your tank several months back so my local Petco had a bunch so I bought them all. These fish are fantastic super active I love um.
Awesome, love to hear it!
Great Video. I recently moved my six, 5+ inch, Denison barbs from my 48 inch, 75 Gallon tank to my custom 65 inch, 110 Gallon tank. I noticed an immediate increase in their already energetic swimming behavior which took total advantage of
the extra 17 inches of width. They're now even more captivating to watch their mesmerizing, non-stop schooling behavior.
Their tank mates, a mix of adult male rainbowfish, also have increased their activity...thus confirming your opinion that these
barbs are excellent dither fish. One word of caution, however, that you didn't mention is that they are SUPREMELY sensitive
to a sudden change in water parameters, ie, temperature, ph, etc. that can occur with a too rapid water change. Over the years, I've stupidly experienced this twice and lost the majority of them within 8 hours while other tank mates showed zero signs of stress. And, yes, your tank is spectacular !!
By far one of my Favorite fish! I got lucky and got some Gold Roselines 😍Very active! I just commented on your Instagram love these guys! I keep mine with Congo tetras and dwarf rainbows ! Love how they look green from above the water and silver from the side!
These are definitely on my list for stocking my 90 gallon for sure! Currently planning on 6 angles, 8 Denison barbs, 10 cardinals, some bristle nose plecos, Cory cats, and possibly a pair of hongsloi apistogramma
Awesome tank!
@@CichlidBros thank you! I think going this route will keep it from being over stocked 😊 I was going to put my trukana jewels in the 90 gallon but I'm going to find a 75 for them to go into and do a west African themed tank! What's one more tank in the collection right? Lol
How many of these can I add to my 90gallon with 2 angels,3acara,4 geo,and 6 Congo Tetras?
Denison Barbs also have a long life span, I've had mine for nine years and they're just now starting to die off.
Mine are about 7in...I have 3 in my 75 and w the Congo tetra's they school together n I haven't noticed any stressful behavior...they have gotten a green hugh to the top of them as well as they got big...I also have them w a Electric blue Dempsey n a red head topajo...all is happy in their planted home👍
I have a big one I was “gifted” and it has a green hue at the top of its head.
I put 6 in my 125 the other day and now I only see 5. Not sure what happened. Tank mates include Severums, blue gourami, and yellow bandit Acaras. 🤯
They are gorgeous but my largest tank is 75 gallons. When I watch how active they are I think they would be happier in a bigger tank. Therefore, I will enjoy watching yours:) Thanks
That’s fair! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
These species is on of the biggest and the most beautiful from whole barb family
Agreed!
This fish is native to Western Ghats in India 🇮🇳 it is often called miss kerala in our state, very beautiful fish ❤️ I have 10 of them in my tank
I am from India and I have 10 of them too in my 5 footer.
Any possibility export those fishes?Denison barb one of the beautiful fish used have many around Srilankan aquarium now not a single aquarium have these to sell...
How big do they get?
What is general cost of pair ?
@@shark7n10They can get over 6 inches and their body get bigger than you would think. I’ve seen a couple full grown. There bit on the slow side when it comes to growing.
Guys no one has made a genuine video on breeding them....can you pls make a video regarding them
I have a 135 gallon with a female jack Dempsey.. fire mouth... Sevrum.. blood parrot... Electric blue Acara... Polar blue parrot and a Senegal bichir... For whatever reason I have had issues with keeping Oscar's with them(6 have died or gotten really sick over time)... So I decided to go a different direction with what else goes in with everything... I'm glad I watched this video because I was on the fence with these I didn't know if my Jack Dempsey would eventually eat them.... So now that I have seen this I'm definitely going to add about 10-12 of these... And maybe add a green terror with a few other odd balls like maybe a few angels... But for sure I'm adding these... I was going back and forth between these and giant danios... definitely going this direction now! Once again cichlid bros to the rescue 😂... What do you think about this stock list for my 135?
Very nice barbs 👍! I just saw these at our local fish 🐟 store here in Singapore yesterday 🇸🇬 I love the other yellow 🟡 and red ♥️ Rosaline barb ..costs about $28 here
Bought 2 of them (3 inches long) for $2 each at Clementi, together with 2 rainbow sharks & 2 albino rainbow sharks (2-2.5 inches long) for $1.50 each 😊
Another type of shark available (don't know the name - gold something) has all off-white colour with a stripe of red-ish pink cost $13. Didn't think it pretty enough for that price.
Thanks bro
My golden denison get some of dark patch over his body/ at first he's really clear. Barbs are really good jumper so prepare!
I love these fish, I keep seeing them in videos.. I have never seen them available in New Zealand 🥺
Awesome fish can’t wait to put them in my 90 I’m staring soon, have any of you kept the winemilleri? I want to put them in my 90 but can’t seem to find any credible informative care guide on them
Just bought 8 of these guys from aquahuna, Im putting them with tetras, calico ranchuus, corydoras, and glass cats. Can't wait. I only have 4 silver dollar adult tetras, they are LARGE tetras and they are pretty timid, so I'm hoping these guys can give them some sense of safety. Large silver dollar fish have given me so many issues because of their timid bahavior, like ripping fins off from darting around rocks in fear, breaking their nose from smacking into the glass at full speed.. Its been rough. Beautiful fish though.
Amazing!
👍🏻👍🏻
seen 3 for 45 dollars..decent size..going price in nj...will pick up a few..will combine with giant danios
denison barbs are cool. wish i bought them instead of rainbowfish
Rainbows are underrated!!! Don't sleep on them!
@@aaron1984a underrated as they are my turquoise rainbow is an aggressive fish that terrorizes my boesemanis and tries to fight my acara. boesemanis are cool fish tho just need big groups to keep them calm
You have the SAME fish I have housed with my roseline barbs!!
Awesome!
🔥🔥🔥
A nice aquarium, it would be nice to hold them with Asia :)
Hello,thanks for this amazing video,I wanted to ask if I can put them with my goldfish? Please let me know
Their range overlaps with the Giant Danio. That could make an interesting biotope tank.
I have them with six Cherry Barbs swimming happily.
These are fish I really want to keep, but my biggest tank is a 75g, which is a great sized tank, but I don't think I would put these active schooling swimmers into anything less than a 6ft tank. Even my Colombian Blue/Red tetras, which got some good size to them, were a lot more active when they were smaller, but now that they're around the 3 inch mark, they're less active. In the future, I wouldn't even put them into anything smaller than a 5 ft tank just because of how active they can be. As I've kept fish for longer periods of time, I really have cracked down on myself on size restrictions for tanks/fish, as opposed to just saying "It'll be fine" pushing some boundaries with bigger fish in smaller tanks.
Yep I wholeheartedly agree, I wouldnt put anything over 6in in my 75g. You see plenty of bigger fish recommend for 75g but I don't think those fish would be happy in it.
I'd like to see some more about Central American Cichlids, like the Carpintis (or Texas Cichlid) or maybe the Midas or Red Devil Cichlids...

Great video Troy. I have a 75-gallon tank that I want to put a few angel fish in with a dwarf flag cichlid, a keyhole cichlid, a festivum, a kribinsis, and maybe a few rams. Do you believe I can still put those 6-7 roseline sharks in with them or would that be too much?
The Discus fish vs. Angel fish please!!! Guidelines on taking care of them as I have a new 75G and can't seem to decide what to choose to place in them.
The difference between them is that Angel fish more beginner friendly. If you are already an experience fish keeper and like the discus more there shouldn't be any problem
I have a small Jack Dempsey, a small Green Terror, and a Firemouth along with some other American Cichlids in a 125. Would these be too aggressive for the Dennison Barb? My Cichlids get a little feisty with each other at times, but I have 3 Silver Dollars that don't get bothered.
I see “6 or more” a lot for all kinds but more is always better with schooling fish.
What is the single deep yellow guy that you have in this tank?
I want to add Denison Barbs but I have a Melanura (about 5-6inches currently) with 2 Severums (medium and small size now), 2 EBA's, and a Geo Winemilleri in my 100 gallon tank. The Melanura has shown some aggressiveness in the past, killing my Geo Hecklii so I'm afraid to add any Denison Barbs until I rehome the Melanura. I hate to do it, he is beautiful, but I can't trust him. ha. And I just recently learned how large he will get.
I see fishes, I click LIKE.
😂👍🏻👍🏻
I have a group of 8 denison barbs and there is one in particular that is losing almost all its color. Cycled tank set up for years dont know what it could be.
I have seen these in a river nearby. Nowadays they are rarely seen , people catch them and sell 😢
Can i put them with a dwarf snakehead in a 90 gallon tank?
I have a 500l tank. I am considering getting 6 to 10 of the denison barbs (they are stunning). I would like to also get 6 bala sharks. I currently have 10 (going to increase to 30) neon tetra, 5 wight mollies and getting 4 yellow mollies. Dose any one have any comment's or suggestions on my choice. I almost forgot I got 1 Golden mojarra
I wanna buy some but I wanted to start with a smaller school size of maybe 5 in my 75 gal, good idea? Or should I just wait and buy the 7 I want all at once?
I just picked up a group of 5 large roselines. One was super aggro and chasing the others non stop. My LFS guy was cool enough to let me trade it out for another one. The other one was even more aggressive and ive had to remove it from the tank and put it in another. These fish are nuts. Its been frustrating. They all have banged up lips now from being chased into the glass over and over. Smh.
What are the others (the big ones that have a black spot on the side) you keep with torpido barbs
Geo sveni
Very Nice!
I would really like to have sand, but there’s so many issues with diatoms and keeping it clean. 😣
What about a red tail shark? Or is it too similar in appearance and the red tail would chase them constantly?
What is that bright yellow fish in the tank?
The red stripes on mine comes and goes. I have a group of 7. They swim around and eat. I feed then new life food. Any idea why the stripe goes away from time to time?
They are seen in only one river- the chalakudy river in Kerala, a south western Indian state.
We call them Miss Kerala here.
I am from Udupi (karnataka)and have seen these in all our rivers
Could they live with an Oscar? I have a baby Oscar and 2 severums in a 125 gallon right now
it would be tough. Maybe could work if the denison barbs are adult size when introducted
@@CichlidBros thanks for your help. Any other recommendations for dither fish for an Oscar? Local fish stores don’t have silver dollars.
What is the name of the yellow fish the is in you tank?
Does the wavemaker bother your angel? I have one but I was told they will stress my angelfish because they like calm water
Nope. I have it angled upwards and turned down to about 60%. It’s nice, gentle flow
@@CichlidBros oh ok mine doesn't have settings. I may try it
Where can I get them..becoming in dead
Do you think it's safe to keep Severums with yellow labs?
Could likely be done. Not ideal though
I kept a green severum with AF cichlids like yellow labs and he did fine with them.
What are the other fish you have in this tank please?
South American cichlids. More of the peaceful species
Will they do with geophagus?
definitely
Which is the yellow tiny cichlid in your tank
Albino heckili
Hi.. just one query.. can they be kept with asian arowana?
Train your arrowana not to eat them by having them together from small and never feed your arrowana live fish
Hahaha i tried that but mine ate a jack dempsey 😔
Denison barbs or giant danios? Who gets ur vote
I love the barbs. Such great color and size when mature
What inch are your Geophagus in this tank? @cichlidbros
5-7 inches
Torpedos ❤
It is named as "Miss Kerala" in India....i have few in my tank....
It is 400 rupees pair in Hyderabad
@@ChaitanyaArige Here in Kerala, Small Size-40rs per pair, Big Size -160rs per pair
@@birdeyeview3901 thanks for replying
Why are mine fighting? Scared there gonna end up killing each other.
That’s rare for them. I’d guess either the tank size or number in the group needs to increase
Arnt they severely endangered or somthing
Yes that’s why they’re captive bred
It is 400rs pair in Hyderabad India
