For years and years I have had platies and guppies in my fish tank. Recently I bought 3 long finned Rosy Barbs. I think I will go back to the pet store and buy a couple more. These little guys are facinating. :)
Now, how do you tell the females and males apart? I've never had Barbs before.
 
Males are slimmer, more brightly coloured and redder; females are plumper, duller and more yellow.
 
That's easy enough! :) Thank you.
Looks like I have one male out of the current 5 swimming in the tank.
