Livebearers !

[canarsie11]

I was wondering can livebearers live with tiger barbs in the same tank. If so which ones?

 

[tstenback]

Yes they can. I have kept swordtails with tigers before. i would stay away from guppies as those fins are awful tempting.

You should be able to get most of them with barbs, though make sure they don't have long fins and that they aren't too slow.

Large quarters and lots of barbs, livebearers, and hiding places should reduce the aggression if you experience any.

When you put your swordtails with barbs, that wasnt tempting for them? They have pretty nice size tails.

when putting any of the livebears with barbs just make sure there are plently of barbs, so the risk of nipping and agression is at its lowest....and try to avoid long and flowly tails.

They could have been females. Actually, I was wondering the same thing.
