Yet another question. A lot of pet shops in our area sell feeder fish,
they say they are rosy barbs. But when I look up rosy barbs, that's
definitely not what they are. These fish look a bit like tiger barbs,
but without the reddish colouring.

What could they be? Are they a different type of rosy barb, or a
different barb altogether? I can't seem to find what they are. I'm from
Australia, if that helps.

Thanks for all your help.

Here in the US, feeders are often "rosy reds" which are actually fathead
minnows. The little buggers are easy to breed and raise, hence ideal
feeders.

I've googled them. That's definitely not the ones.


Your best bet is to post a photo and ask for help. Alternatively,
google for "rosy barb photos" and see what pops up.

I don't have a digital camera.

They have stripes, so they're not rosy barbs

Thanks
