They’re Just Babies!

[FishGuest5123]

I ordered 5 chewy barbs to build my schoal back up. Could not believe they sent me such tiny ones. Here’s a pic. I’m feeding them fry starter to build them up. I wish I had taken a pic last week when I first got them but here they are now. They did apologize and credited me for the babies. I’ll have to keep them in another tank for awhile. One pic has a medium size with the baby. The golden white clouds are young but larger than the barbs!

Aaaww, teeny babies!

How many tanks do you have altogether, @Deanasue ? I know you have the room with a lot of betta tanks, plus two or three huge goldfish tanks? But I don't know how many, or how you manage them all! I feel overwhelmed at times with four, and three of those are less than 16 gallons

The plant still in the pot and rockwool is making my fingers twitch though It'll grow better if you remove the rockwool and plant it Might need some ferts too

They are tiny, when I bought my 22 neon tetras all they had were young neons about 1/2 the size of the ones I had in my tank.

The plants are just in QT for a couple of days. That’s my QT tank. They’ll be planted in sand once they go to main tanks. I feed them Flourish Comprehensive. . I have 75G and a 45G in the family room with my goldfish in them. The 75G also has a bn pleco. Then I have the 150G pond on the patio with single tail goldfish. In the fish room I have a 55G with neon tetras and cories, a 20 long with red cherry shrimp, a 29G community tanks with zebra danios, golden white clouds, cherry barbs, glo light tetras and a bn pleco. Then I have (3) 5G, (1) 6.5G, and (3) 10G all with bettas in them. Now, of course, I have the QT 20 long with the babies in them. Oh, I have another 5G snail aquarium. That’s it!

That’s it!

Oh, is that all?


Wow, that's a lot of tanks!!
I wonder whether any other members have more tanks than that? Sounds like you might be the MTS winner!

I forgot who but someone has me beat. All I can say is, “Thank God for the Python.”

And here I was, thinking thrice about buying the two second hand 4ft tanks, with all the essentials, which the seller is practically giving away at a couple hundred bucks.

Cherry Barbs are fun. they don't get much bigger than about 2 inches and are always active. they do best in groups. I have 5 of them myself.
