GMO Tiger Barb

The Tiger Barb GMO is a vibrant and energetic freshwater fish that combines the bold personality of the classic Tiger Barb with brilliant fluorescent colouration. Available in a variety of striking colours, including green, red, orange, pink, and blue, these eye-catching fish create an intense visual display in both standard and blue-spectrum lighting.

Just like traditional Tiger Barbs, GMO Tiger Barbs are active, social fish that thrive in groups and bring constant movement to the aquarium. Their distinctive tiger-striped pattern remains visible beneath their fluorescent colours, creating a unique appearance that stands out in any community aquarium.

Hardy, adaptable, and full of personality, Tiger Barb GMO fish are excellent for aquarists looking to add colour and energy to a tropical freshwater setup. Their active schooling behaviour makes them particularly impressive when kept in larger groups.

Whether you're building a colourful display tank or adding a vibrant feature school to your community aquarium, Tiger Barb GMO fish offer a unique combination of colour, activity, and character.
