I have an all tiger barb 29 gal tank with 9 striped and 3 green tiger barbs. But for the longest time one of the female tiger barbs has had a ragged tail and anal fin. I see the other ones come up to her and take a poke at her tail. The fins get better at times and worse at times, but never whole. So, I was wondering how she would act in my 40 gal community tank. It is pretty peaceful, with lemon tetras, scissortail rasboras, aeneus cory cats and 2 f gouarmies.

I just want the F's tail to grow back, then I think I could put her back with the other TBs. She still eats, but spends a lot of time out of the way of the rest of the TBs. So, has anyone put one or a few picked on TBs in a peaceful community tank? I dont want her to terrorize the peaceful tank, so if anyone has an experience with this, I'd like to hear about it.

I guess the other option would be to buy a small tank and isolate her until her tail grows back.
