Longfin
The longfins also known as roundheads or spiny basslets are a family, Plesiopidae, of fishes in the order Perciformes. They are elongated fishes, found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. The Longfin Tiger Barb is one of the varieties of the regular Tiger Barb. The biggest difference from that of their parentage is that the Longfin Tiger Barb has just that, fins that are a bit longer. Their aquarium requirements, behaviors, care and feeding are the same as their parentage. Like all of their cousins they do best kept in a group of 6 or more, and they are lively and active so need plenty of room to swim. They are hardy and a great fish for beginners, though they can be nippy with their tank mates. For a very attractive effect in your aquarium try adding some Longfin Tiger Barbs to a school of regular Tiger Barbs. They provide a nice contrast of swift moving, darting color! Mixing even more varieties works equally well and creates a really exciting effect. Some of these include the Albino Tiger Barb, and the Green ('moss') Tiger Barb. Though when mature, their colors do tend to fade a bit, a school of these playful and attractive fish in a nice sized aquarium makes an awesome display!
