The Albino Cherry Barb is a farm developed albino form of the wild type. One of the slimmer bodied barbs, the Cherry Barb was described as Barbus titteya by Deraniyagala in 1929. Originally found in Sri Lanka, this fish is now mostly farm raised. This is one of the few barbs that does not school, growing to about 2 inches in length, the body has a reddish cast with pale red fins. The belly may be white, and is more rounded on the female. The Albino Cherry Barb prefers to spend its time among the plants, with occasional dashes to the open areas of the tank. They will accept most all prepared aquarium foods.
