The fry will hatch in approximately three days, and should then be fed baby brine shrimp to ensure proper nutrition. As the fry grow, they can then be transitioned to crushed flake food. To ensure a successful breeding, it is important to monitor the water conditions and adjust them accordingly. Additionally, regular water changes should be done to keep the tank healthy.

The Rosy Barb needs to be fed a variety of foods in order to keep it healthy and content. This includes vegetables as well as meaty foods. Feeding a quality flake food as well as live and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms will keep the fish healthy and content.
