Black Spot Barb / Filament Barb

The Black Spot Barb, also known as the Filament Barb (Dawkinsia filamentosa), is a striking and graceful tropical fish known for its elongated fin filaments and signature black spot near the tail. Native to rivers and streams in India and Sri Lanka, this species adds movement and elegance to any freshwater aquarium.

Filament Barbs are best kept in schools of 4/6 or more, which encourages natural schooling behavior and reduces stress.
