đ Green Tiger Barb
It doesnât just shimmer â it charges.
The Green Tiger Barb hits the water like a living gemstone. Deep emerald greens, metallic undertones, and that classic tiger pattern ghosting beneath the surface give this fish a look that feels electric. When the school turns, the whole group flashes like a moving shard of jade â bold, bright, and impossible to ignore.
Males fire up even harder with age, throwing richer greens and sharper contrast, turning every lap across the tank into a fullâtilt display of color and attitude.
This isnât your everyday barb. At Uncle Joeâs Fish Shed, we raise them right here in Florida or bring them in small, handâselected batches from trusted local breeders who match our standards. No massâproduced stock. No washedâout imports. Just limitedârun, hobbyâgrade fish chosen for saturation, strength, and that unmistakable Tiger Barb energy.
Limited runs only â because real quality isnât manufactured. Itâs curated.
