Three names, three different choices

Denison Barb is listed as Dawkinsia denisonii, Longfin Barb as D. arulius and Filament or Black-Spot Barb as D. filamentosa. The Longfin name here identifies arulius; it does not mean a longfin version of the Denison Barb. Keep the scientific name with each offer when comparing adult size and conditions.

Leave a clear swimming route

Arrange planted cover around usable swimming space rather than filling the whole aquarium with obstacles. Plan for the chosen species as a group and make sure quieter residents can reach their food. Read the current supplied size separately from adult size when deciding whether your aquarium is suitable.
