karina Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 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).

David R Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karina Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
