Dixon1990 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Should be fine together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaffen Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've found you have to keep Tiger Barb numbers up, then they fight/play amongst themselves. 5 or more is good, any less and they get a bit aggro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreedingFrenzy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I had ten tiger barbs, only fish in my tank and they killed themselves off. Guess it depends on the ones you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have *tries to count in head* 15 barbs in with 5 red eye tetras and 1 otto. I have had them for quite sometime now and no probs.

skaffen Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I've got 9 Tiger Barbs in with heaps of other fish (list at end) and they've never been a problem. They occasionally have lip-locking spats or go tearing up and down the tank chasing each other, but usually they get on fine and they've never hassled any other species. Community = 9 tiger barbs, 10 black neon tetras, 2 siamese algae eaters, 1 golden gourami, 1 bala shark, 4 bolivian butterflies, 1 bristle-nosed plecco, 6 platies, 18 emerald eye rasboras.
