8 Way To Identify Male Or Female Tiger Barb
1. Coloration
Male tiger barbs are generally more colorful and slimmer around their bellies compared to female tiger barbs.
Females are a lot less colorful than males and they exhibit a general paleness compared to males.

2. Red nose
They typically develop a distinct red nose quite early in their development, which sometimes coincides with them reaching sexual maturity.

3. Fin Angle
The anal fin of the male is more angled towards the tail, the female’s anal fin usually goes straight down.

4. Vental fin
When the male has reached sexual maturity is that its ventral fins turn bright red.
The ventral fins of female tiger barbs turn into a pale red or orangish color.

5. Belly shape
Females have a broader, more rounded belly than males and are larger and heavier.

6. Body size
Female can even grow bigger than male tiger barbs. Males are smaller than Females

7. Dorsal fin
Males have reddish tip to its dorsal fin.
few female tiger barbs have black dorsal in without the red tip.

8. Aggresiveness
It’s often the male that’s more aggressive and a bit more curious towards the other members of the community tank, not shying away from nipping at fish with longer or flowy fins.
However, females can just as well become aggressive and it’s not always the male that’s up to trouble in a tank.
