At home I've got a small group of albino cherry barbs. A friend of mine who onws an lfs ordered them at some point. But thusfar, he hasn't sold any. So, he asked me if I would be able to keep some and see how they'll thrive. So, I got a small group of him and I'll try to breed them.
They're in a nice tank at the moment. But I took these pics when I just got them. They were a bit hard to get them out of the water they were in. So, at some point I put them in one of our sinks in the bathroom. That way they were easier to catch. I've put them in a tank with lots of elodeas. For those females are full of eggs. It seems that the males tend to color up more intensively than those females. I used to keep cherry barbs outdoors during the better months of the year. Maybe I'll give it a shot to put these outdoors as well.
