Rob Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Sounds like tinfoil barbs (Barbus schwanefeldi) can get quite large (up to 35cm) and will eat smaller fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varven Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 These barbs get huge and FAST. they need loads of room to swim freely,specially when panicked or they will tend to smack into tank walls. They need vegetation/cover to hide behind if they feel threatened or they start swimming like JAWS imitations ! cheers, V.V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
