Outdoor Barbs

I just put some of my Barbs out in the stock tanks for the summer. It's going to be interesting to see if they do anything while outside. They are in a large net breeder (3x3x1), so I shouldn't have any predation from outside. Now I just have to hope they don't eat their own fry. Denny

I have had good luck with them and fry if there are plenty of plants in with them. Good luck. jack

One stock tank has LF Rosy barbs, and the other has Black Ruby barbs. The Rosy barbs were doing good and very active as of yesterday, but I didn't check the other tank yet. Denny

black ruby's are one of my favorites. a very under-appreciated fish in my opinion. KYle
