I'm quite sure its man-made..
Any idea what Tiger barb variant this guy is? Or is it not a variant afterall but a man-made one?
I'm quite sure its man-made..
I think it's selectively bred for color, but not dyed. Been around for a long time I think. I recall seeing them when I was in Primary school.
Nice photo!!

it's a man-made, in any shop in the UK there are about 6 different variations of tiger barbs, but i still prefer the original.

Looks like no one can determined if they are dyed or color bred....

not just simply dyeing since the dark bands are missing not is not albino.

IMHO i would say the fish shown has been possibly colour-fed, it's colours are very bright which i don't think you would get in normal conditions.

It probably be colour fed as I recently saw white tiger barbs... Meaning, the "normal" one without the red... Also have blue! I was quite amazed...
aiyo valice, that day I wanted to award you the PSLE cert leh, but then you failed to turn up at the Great Hall of the Azmi. too bad
