Painted Tiger Barbs?
I'm in the process of starting up a shoal of tiger barbs. I've already
got some greens and albinos. I wanted to add some red ones, but I'm a bit concerned that they might be painted. Does anyone know how to tell if they're natural color morphs or if they're painted/dyed?

The ones I have seen are a natural color morph.

Thanks for that link. But I was hoping there was a good way to spot a
paintjob. (Or are paintjobs really, really obvious?) I've been looking for a picture of a red tiger barb online. Can't seem to find one.

Natural red tigers have the bar pattern. The red is not vibrant except when
spawning. "kyu" wrote in message ups.com... Thanks for that link. But I was hoping there was a good way to spot a paintjob. (Or are paintjobs really, really obvious?) I've been looking for a picture of a red tiger barb online. Can't seem to find one.

PS
I have also seen a red morph based on the albino...a rosy tiger barb. It also was natural. "luminos" wrote in message ... Natural red tigers have the bar pattern.
