Freshwater Barbs for Sale

Barbs are active, schooling freshwater fish popular for their bold colors and lively personalities. On Light Fish you'll find a variety of barb species listed by hobbyists and breeders, including tiger barbs, rosy barbs, cherry barbs, Odessa barbs, and pentazona barbs. Most barbs are hardy and adaptable, making them a good choice for intermediate aquarists looking for movement and color in a community tank.

All barb orders on Light Fish are backed by a platform-wide Live Arrival Guarantee. Fish are packed in breather bags with heat or cold packs as needed, shipped in insulated boxes via priority or overnight carrier, and weather-monitored along the route. Barbs are best kept in schools of six or more to minimize fin-nipping behavior. They thrive in well-maintained tanks of 20 gallons or more with a pH of 6.5–7.5 and moderate water flow.
