Torpedo Barb - Puntius Denisonii

The Denison Barb (also known as the Torpedo Barb or Roseline Shark) is a stunning, fast?swimming species prized for its vivid red stripe, metallic body, and sleek torpedo?shaped profile. These active schooling fish bring incredible movement and colour to larger community aquariums, making them a favourite among aquascapers and hobbyists looking for a true centrepiece species.
Denison Barbs thrive in groups of five or more and appreciate spacious tanks with strong filtration, clean water, and plenty of open swimming room. Their peaceful temperament makes them suitable for other active, non?aggressive fish of similar size. They look especially striking in planted setups, where their colours contrast beautifully against lush greenery.
Feeding is straightforward — they readily accept quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and small live foods. With their bold appearance, energetic behaviour, and shoaling nature, Denison Barbs are an exceptional choice for aquarists wanting a vibrant, eye?catching display fish.
