Some of my corys

Looks like they are enjoying each other’s company,either that or they are planning a mob assault on another fish.

You have some nice barbs too and one of them is impersonating a Corydoras

Just noticed the "dodgy Cory" Colin haha
Melon barbs are becoming a real favourite of mine.They don't cost much,their colours are amazing and they are right wee characters,just like the corys.

Ruby barbs are another that are nice, and when the water warms up the males start to change colour and can look pretty flash

I agree with you Colin.I have ruby barbs and a couple are really colourful,a very deep rich purple colour.Whenever I do water changes they can lighten up for a day or so before they get colourful again.The light coloured ones have a gold dust shimmer to them.I suppose all barbs are interesting fish.Take tiger barbs,I can’t quite work them out.I had a shoal of 18 that whittled down to half a dozen over a period of about 15 months.Over time four of these haven’t grew much,but the other two have got big and don’t swim with the others.I haven’t seen much nipping from tiger barbs to justify them being classed as such,green barbs are much worse in my view.
