Tiger Barb Tankmates

[ss53]

I was wondering if I can put Rosy Barbs in with Normal & Green Tiger Barbs? I want 3 types of barb, however I am not hugely keen on getting Albino Tiger Barbs. I think the Rosy's look better. I've read they can go together, but are they at risk of bullying?

Thanks.

just out of interest, how big is the tank?

120L - Its a juwel lido 120.

humm, not really the room for 2/3 schools of fish, personally i would consider picking just one and getting a dozen of them as your key school of fish. 120l can support a nice group like that. Mixing and matching doesnt look as good in my eyes. Good luck though with whatever you decide Tigers are great.

Thanks for the advice!

I think Tiger, Green and Rosy Barbs are a perfect mix!

Rosy barbs can get a good five or six inches though; really quite big; too big for 120l, IMO.

How about cherry barbs?
