🐟 Long Fin Short Body Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona var. “Long Fin Short Body”)
Freshwater Barb • Community Fish • Color Variant • Active Swimmer
 
📋 The Long Fin Short Body Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona var. “Long Fin Short Body”) is a striking ornamental morph of the classic Tiger Barb, showcasing elongated fins and a compact, rounder body shape. Its trademark vertical black stripes remain vivid against golden or orange coloration, enhanced by extended flowing fins that give it a graceful presence.
This variety retains the energetic nature of standard Tiger Barbs but with a more decorative, show-tank appeal. They are best kept in groups of six or more to reduce fin-nipping behavior and to promote natural schooling dynamics.
Ideal for aquascaped freshwater setups, these fish thrive in clean, well-oxygenated water with moderate current and open swimming space. Their vibrant color, motion, and form make them a favorite centerpiece for hobbyists seeking variety in barb collections.
