Cherry barbs are omnivores which means they will eat very small live animals such as water fleas, blood worms and plant-based foods. If you mean when kept in an aquarium they will eat algae, nibble on live aquatic plants, eat good quality flake for tropical fish and also frozen and live foods. They are not fussy eaters.

Mine pick at my algae all the time. It's not their main food source by any means, but they definitely do spend some time eating it.
