New 20 Gallon Long

[Unicyclist]

Hello, 8)

I have a 20 gallon long tank with five tiger barbs in it. The tigers dominate the tank and have killed any fish I have put into the tank. What fish can be added and live. Also there is some algae in the tank and I was wondering if anything compatible would take care of some of the algae.

Any Suggestions?

They are regarded as fin nippers so don't put anything with long fins with them and think they could pick on slower moving fish.

My tank has 9 TBs in there and they don't bother the danios and the BN's. Although, I wouldn't put baby fish in there if you've got adult TBs

I was thinking of getting some Zebra Danios. What is a BN? Blue Naggot? I heard those were exotic!

BN's are bristle nose plecos, a type of algea eater Zebora danios should be ok, but need a minimum length of 75cm for their tank due to their activeness.

Get your a few more tb's and aggression will decrease also adding more decor to break up the line of sight can help.

More Tiger Barbs, Fast fish and armoured cats (corys and plecs).

How many more TBs are we talking about? Because i want to have other fish in the tank as well.

A group of 8 is generaly considered a minimum size for reducing agression, but more is always better
