T Bars tank mates

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I have had T Bars for a year now and have kept them with Rams, Kribs and acara's.

Has anyone successfully kept them with neons and tetra's?

I am going to move them into a 430 litre tank and would like schooling fish in there (dont like giant danios).

Cheers

Not sure if I'd trust this guy with cardinals..

then again most of the t-bars I've seen don't seem to get anywhere near their full potential size, not sure why, maybe breeding at a small size, small tanks etc, much like convicts I guess. Larger high bodied tetras should be ok, scissor tails and other medium sized barbs would work too, it depends how big your T-bars are, maybe smaller tetras would work ok, its obviously working for phoenix.

That pic is just to show the size, the colours look terrible unfortunately, it was a really good looking fish when it was alive!

My biggest T bar boy is about 4 - 4/12 inches. Here he is:

Excuse the slightly blurry photo he is pretty active when I stand in front of the tank! :)

Here is a couple of his babies which are in with him.

He leaves his babies alone and doesn't bother the other fish much.
