Question
hey how can you tell the difference between a male tiger barb and a female barb??

Answer
Hi Zacharay:

Usually you can't tell the difference between genders in tiger barb fish until they reach adulthood. The males are slimmer and they have red fins, red on the edges of the fish, and red mouth. The females are larger than males, and no red part. Good luck with your breeding!!
