Tiger Barbs And Neons

[Andrew G]

I have 7 barbs and 13 neons. Can they be mixed together?

You already have them so keep an eye on them. It depends on the size of the tank too. I would say that in the average tanks the activity of the barbs may stress the laid back neons.

You'll probably notice the number of (live) neons steadily decrease. Bad mix. Plus, tiger barbs=asian, neons tetras=south american. (shudder)
*just a pet peeve-sorry*

Guess I'll keep them in seperate tanks.
