ryanjury Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Golden barbs can be a bit agro too, I gave my mate a heap of fish including golden barbs and between them and the angels they ate/destoyed all the guppies.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Tiger Barbs in a large school generally keep to themselves, however the odd one can be a bit nippy towards other tank mates, but generally normally if you keep them in a large enough school they just harass each other :lol: They are a beautiful fish I reckon..

snookie Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I agree with you on that one afrikan Tinfoil barbs also make great community fish for larger species communities . only problem would be them eating plants . heard cigar barbs are nice also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have checker barbs in a community tank and they are great! Lots of personality and they are very peaceful. I also have cherry barbs and they are fine with guppies and mollies etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Red Body barbs are really nice and peaceful - no problems with fin nipping what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hiya, try this site for a compatibility chart. http://www.timstropicals.com/Compatibil ... Search.asp It isn't foolproof, but gives a basic idea. Local knowledge is better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 i want to know wether oto's are compatible with betta's... the website says no... Also the website doesn't have hatchetfish- are these compatible with betta's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I don't know about Betta's compatibility with oto's, but they certainly don't mix well with paradise fish (not the same thing, I know, but they're at least a similar species) I bought a couple of oto's today to go in a tank with four immature paradise fish and almost immediately the paradise fish started harassing them so I moved the oto's to another tank. The only clean up crew the paradise fish's tank is going to have is going to be snails, it looks like. In my experience it would really depend on your bettas personality though - I've had ones that are as bad as paradise fish and others that get along with anything.
