Black Barred Red Hook

Black-Barred Red Hook is a freshwater fish known for their tall, disc-shaped silver bodies adorned with bold vertical black bars and vivid red or orange tail fins. They are peaceful yet active, often swimming in synchronized groups. As upper to mid-level dwellers, they prefer open, well-oxygenated spaces with minimal obstructions. Keeping them in schools of five or more not only reduces stress but also encourages their natural schooling behavior and vibrant coloration.
