My Tiger Barb is white... i think it didnt developed its real colour... i tried to feed him with colour enhancing flake food for atleast 3months... still his white... i dont know whats the probelm but i think its my tank... does the environment of the tank affects the fish colour? if so, what can i do to give him good colour? currently his in my 20g tank with white pebbles and artificial plants and some drift woods
Tiger Barb Color Problem

if everything hed ever see was white, i suppose hed lighten up.
if he looks like that than hes just albino

:iagree:If he is not an albino tiger barb, then I would change gravel or mix it with one of a darker color.
Yes. The males will have an orange nose and a little orange on his fins, and the females are pretty pale.
Another important thing to remember about the tiger barbs, is that they should be in groups of at least 5 of them. Apparently, yours is alone in a 20gal tank. If that is the case and you have room for it (I don't know if there are other tank mates), add at least 4 more tiger barbs. He will be happier and this maybe will help him also to color up.
Good luck, kishnik!
Good luck, kishnik!
thanks for the reply guys but i think my tiger barb is not an albino... i have at least 15 of them in my friends tank... all silverish/white... i guess i need to change gravel or mix it with darker color as what efors said... ill try that ASAP... i hope this will do good... i was not expecting they will grow silverish/white... btw, how many days do you think theyll get their original colour?
thanks to everyone
