📛 Common Name: Albino Tiger Barb
🏠 Tank Size: 80L+ recommended

Albino Tiger Barbs thrive in well-planted aquariums with open swimming space. Keeping them in larger groups significantly reduces fin-nipping behaviour and encourages natural schooling.

🐠 Compatibility
Best suited to active community tanks with other fast-moving fish such as danios, larger tetras, rainbowfish, loaches, and plecos. Avoid slow-moving or long-finned species like guppies or angelfish.

Important Notes
Albino Tiger Barbs must be kept in proper groups to reduce aggression and stress. Insufficient numbers can lead to fin-nipping behaviour. A well-structured aquascape with plants and hiding areas helps maintain balance.

The Albino Tiger Barb is an excellent choice for UK fishkeepers wanting a bold, active schooling fish that brings constant motion and striking contrast to larger community aquariums.
