Why choose the Albino Long Fin Cherry Barb?

The Albino Long Fin Cherry Barb combines the peaceful personality of the classic Cherry Barb with elegant flowing fins and beautiful albino colouration. Soft gold, cream and pale pink tones shimmer under aquarium lighting, while the extended fins create a graceful appearance as they swim through planted aquariums.

These active schooling fish spend much of their day exploring together, with males displaying to one another by extending their flowing fins during courtship and social interactions.

Their calm temperament and distinctive appearance make them an excellent feature fish for peaceful community aquariums where their fins can remain in perfect condition.

Common mistakes

  • Keeping them with fin-nipping species.
  • Housing too few individuals.
  • Providing very little plant cover.
  • Allowing poor water quality.
  • Overfeeding.

Care made simple

  • Temperature: 22–27°C
  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • Diet: Premium flakes, nano pellets, frozen foods and live foods
  • Water: Clean, stable and well-filtered
  • Setup: Planted aquarium with open swimming areas, driftwood and dark substrate to enhance colour

Pairs perfectly with

  • Harlequin Rasboras
  • Honey Gouramis
  • Corydoras
  • Dwarf Rainbowfish
  • Peaceful tetras and livebearers
NTA Insight:
The flowing fins are what make this variety truly special. In a heavily planted aquarium with gentle water movement, they glide through the tank with an elegance that's hard to match. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping species and you'll be rewarded with beautiful, fully developed finnage.

FAQ

How many Albino Long Fin Cherry Barbs should I keep?

They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six. Schools of 8–12 fish display more natural behaviour and provide a much more impressive display.

Are they peaceful?

Yes. They are one of the most peaceful barb species available and are well suited to community aquariums with similarly peaceful fish.

Can they live with shrimp?

Adult shrimp are generally safe, although very small shrimplets may occasionally become food. Dense mosses and plants provide excellent shelter.

Can they breed in home aquariums?

Yes. Like other Cherry Barbs, they are egg scatterers and will readily breed when provided with clean water, quality foods and fine-leaved plants or spawning mops.

What makes the Long Fin variety different?

The Long Fin variety has been selectively bred for beautifully elongated fins, giving these peaceful fish a much more elegant appearance while retaining the same easy-going temperament and hardy nature as the standard Cherry Barb.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Why do livestock prices sometimes change?

    Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.

    Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.

    We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
