This is my mini aquarium a.k.a mini fresh water ecosystem. It is easily to set up at home and it doesn't cost that much. Maintaining the aquarium is easy but the most important part is to maintain the cleanliness of the water . Also, having a good filtering system helps in keeping the water clean at all times. At this moment I have 4 fishes which is sufficient for a small aquarium at home.

This is a Tiger Barb. I have 3 of them in this aquarium. Basically the
tiger barb (
Puntius tetrazona) or
Sumatra Barb, is a species of
tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Puntius genus of the minow family. The tiger barb grows to about 7 cm long and 3 cm wide, although they are often smaller when kept in captivity. The green tiger barb is the same size and has the same nature as the normal barb but has a green body. Albino barbs are a light yellow with four stripes just visible, the stripes are a little darker yellow than the yellow body. However, Tiger Barb is not highly recommended for tanks with slower, more peaceful fishes such as bettas, gouramis, angelfish and others with long flowing fins. They will nip the fins and often agressive to others fish.

BTW, I have a lovely housekeeper in the aquarium to keep it clean and shine. A very handy fish.
