The beautiful Golden Tinfoil Barb is one of the most notable color morphs of the Tinfoil Barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii). When kept in a school in a nice-sized aquarium, this attractive fish makes an awesome display. This truly striking fish has a golden or yellow body and a golden cast to its translucent fins without the reds and blacks of its parentage. Another common name it is known by is the Yellow Tinfoil Barb.
