fattythecatty Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I would think barbs would love living with guppies, free lunch. not so good for the guppies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchKiwiCowboy2 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Adult guppies would probably be allright with Barbs, but don't expect any young to survive. I had tiger barbs with neons and that was no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattythecatty Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Lucky you, I think my tiger barbs would make mince meat of Neons!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 hey do barbs do well with guppy's Yep, I had guppies with barbs and the barbs loved nipping their tails, hence barbs got their own tank :evil: , hmmmm I wonder if that's what they wanted all along! :lol: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 If you like the schooling then tetras are hard to beat. I like the Harlequin rasboros as well as they are a great mid-level schooler. A few Rainbows also for the character and some harmless chasing. Keyholes in my experience are OK for community, but wouldn't say they are high on character. and I'm like Ryan with rams-love them but- OK getting them up to spawning stage then they always seem to fall over on me, but pair of apistos sure add character to any tank. A couple of Angelicus, zebra or that sort of loach will play with other all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Thanks for all the ideas. I'm in such a fishy mood (trust that to happen when I am away from my tank on holiday haha). Cyano is finally carking it I think, which means my self imposed restriction of 'no more fish until the cyano is gone!' is lifting Ideal tank, I'd love to have a school of hatchets for top level, my pair of blue rams plus a pair of gold rams. An army of cardinal tetras. My 2 GBAs, plus maybe some yoyo loaches or a pair of royal whiptails Yeah, I have no money and expensive taste :roll: In the meantime I will cruise fishy forums... Also considering swapping my giant bit of driftwood and re-scaping the tank. Anyone wanna buy a big bit of driftwood with giant java fern? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
