Expert Advice

Common Questions
Cherry Barb FAQ
Are Cherry Barbs safe with shrimp?+
They are generally safe with adult shrimp, but may eat very small shrimplets.
What do they eat?+
Flake food, micro pellets, and frozen or live foods make up a varied diet.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes. Photograph any DOA in the sealed bag on delivery day and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page.
How many should I keep?+
Keep a group rather than a single fish so they can display natural schooling behavior.
How are these fish shipped?+
Fish ship via Overnight / Next Day Air in insulated packaging with weather-appropriate heat or cold protection.
How do I acclimate them?+
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes, then drip-acclimate for 30–60 minutes. Net fish into the aquarium and do not add bag water.
Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.
