i HAVE REDTAILED SHARK AND TIGER BARBS.

I ALSO HAVE ADDED BANANA BARBS, BUT WHAT CENTERPIECE FISH CAN LIVE WITH THESE FISH......

i think ur tank is overcrowded. the fish listed in ur sig need a total of 70 1/2 inches total. and u have banana barbs, i dont know how big they get though, so it seems like nomore fish are needed. if u want a nice centerpeice fish, ull have 2 get rid of some fish

I have a 10 gallon tank cycling, so moving fish is not the problem.

However, I dont think my tank is over crowded I could be wrong, anyone else?

But with all that you never answered my question about centerpice fish.......

sorry bout that,
here are some questions that can help what kind of fish u want
1. body shape, fat thin, long, angel fish like
2. color
3. temperment
4. maximum size
5. price
6. breeding
7. sexing

thats what i use when i want 2 get a fish. the breeding and sexing is if u want babys or not.

i have you at about 53 inches without the banana barbs, dont know anything about them. as follows
Tiger barbs 2.75x15=41.25
Red Tail Shark 1x5=5
Zebra 2x2=4
Cories 2x1.5=3

So definately not overstocked.
As for the pressing issue of a centerpiece fish how about 2 boesemani rainbows, although they do like the temp up abit around 80. Or one of the other rainbows like the red rainbow it likes the temp down in the mid seventies level. They would be different from the normal angels, gourami theme and i think they would go well with your other fish, although i have never tried them with tiger barbs before. I would think with a group of barbs that size they have little time for picking at anyone only themselves. HTH

I KNEW I WAS NOT OVERSTOCKED
