Barbus everetti (Clown bearded)

The bearded fish Everetti is a freshwater fish native to the region of West Africa. It is a small fish, measuring on average between 4 and 6 centimeters in length. It has a rather banal appearance, with an elongated and cylindrical body covered with small scales. Its color varies from gray to dark brown, sometimes with darker marbles on the back.

The bearded Everetti fish lives mainly in the rivers and shallow lakes, where it feeds mainly on small insects and crustaceans. He is also known to be a gregarious fish, that is to say that he lives in a group with other individuals of his species.

Bearded Everetti fish is often used in aquariophilia because of its small size and ease of maintenance. It is also appreciated for its ability to cohabit with other species of freshwater fish, making it an excellent choice for beginners in aquarophilia.

Unfortunately, the bearded Everetti fish is threatened in its natural habitat due to water pollution and the destruction of its habitat by humans. It is therefore important to protect this species to preserve biodiversity in this African region.
