Tiger Barbs Fin Nipping..

[ceecrb1]

I've got a 63ltr tank with fluval 104 external filter..

3 spotted corys and 7 tiger barbs.

The problem I have is that the barbs are fin nipping... where each cory may get a nip every few weeks.. one daft cory is trying to school with the barbs... so is getting a real beating!!!

Not sure if there is anything I can do about it.. but if others have suggestions???

Its weird.. its getting beaten up ... but it keeps going back to them!!!

I'm not 100% sure what to tell ya. I know barbs are notorious for fin nipping but i wouldn't have suspected them to go after the cory's

What size of a tank do you have? I'm wondering because if you have room an increase in the number of cory's may help the confused cory to school with the rest of them. They enjoy larger groups 6+.

Good luck hope he's okay!
