{"product_id":"cherry-barb","title":"Cherry barb","description":"\u003cp\u003eCherry barbs hail from the forest streams of Sri Lanka. Growing up to 5cm in length, these peaceful, community freshwater fish are a great addition if you’re looking to add a splash of colour to your aquarium. Males have slender, cherry red bodies and females are rounder with more orange shades and a dark line running horizontally across their bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial requirements: Cherry barbs must be kept in groups of six or more to minimize aggression; house at least two females to each male. Cheery barbs thrive in heavily planted tanks with dark substrate, driftwood and floating plants, reducing the overhead lighting - this mimics their natural environment, promoting natural behaviour and helping their colours to pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Cherry Barbs the full range of EBO Pro Soft products, we also feed live food such as daphnia and brine shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank size: 60 litres +\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank mates: Suitable tankmates include corys, gouramis, rasbora and tetras. Avoid housing them with large or aggressive fish as they will shy away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54575464087880,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/8b869879-1581-4679-ad11-796a1bb736f2-37df24b8.webp?v=1794360106","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/cherry-barb","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
