Albino Tiger Barb (Puntius tetrazona)
Same Puntius tetrazona genetics and same numbers-dependent temperament as a standard tiger barb, that fin-nipping reputation is really a small-group problem that settles down once the school hits six or more, just carried on an albino line that strips the classic black bars down to a pale, near-translucent finish. Fast and active exactly like the wild-type fish. Keep the numbers up and the personality stays pointed within the group.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive, shoaling · Max size: ~3" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
