Cherry Barb
Puntius titteya
Adult cherry barbs live in slow-moving, heavily vegetated freshwater habitats in Sri Lanka. They pick through plants and bottom debris for algae, zooplankton, insect larvae, and other small invertebrates. Males become vivid cherry red, especially when displaying during breeding periods.
