The Odessa Barb (Pethia padamya), also known as the Red-Stripe Barb or Padamya Barb, is a colorful and active species of freshwater fish native to the Irrawaddy River Basin in Myanmar (Burma). It's a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts because of its striking appearance, peaceful temperament, and easy care requirements.

The Odessa Barb, a vibrant addition to any community aquarium, is known for its striking red-orange coloration and golden body, reaching 2.5-3 inches in length. Its slender, active form makes it a captivating swimmer, especially in schools of six or more. These peaceful, non-territorial fish thrive in 20+ gallon tanks with planted areas, rocks, and open swimming space, preferring slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.5-7.5, 74-80°F).

Odessa Barbs are omnivores, enjoying a varied diet of flakes, pellets, live/frozen foods, and blanched vegetables. They are lively and playful, making them a joy to observe. With proper care, they can live 5-7 years. Breeding is possible in captivity with a separate tank and fine-leaved plants, where eggs hatch in 2-3 days.

Ideal tankmates include other peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, and guppies. Avoid aggressive fish. Maintaining good water quality through regular changes and filtration is crucial. Their schooling behavior and compatibility make them a popular choice for community aquariums.
