It is known for its small size, faded black striping, and very peaceful demeanor. This fish is not as heavy-bodied or boisterous as many other barb species. It is compatible with most other peaceful species that inhabit similar water conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Golden Dwarf Barb typically occupies the top and middle level of the water column, although it can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well. It is safe with other peaceful, small fish. It can even be kept with dwarf shrip, although like most fish, it may eat some shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can make good tankmates. The Golden Dwarf Barb must be kept in groups of 6 or more, although larger groups are more ideal. Its natural habitat typically has slow water flow and high oxygen content. It requires very clean water to thrive and it will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium with dark substrate, especially where floating plants are present..  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile not a picky eater, the Golden Dwarf Barb will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of carnivorous foods.
