Tiger Barbs - Ok With My Stock?

[Jonno]

Tanks occupants are:

3 x Alestes Tetra
6 x Congo Tetra
5 x Rosy Barbs
1 x Snowball Plec
6 x Khuli Loaches

My main concern is the rosy barbs with their long flowing fins?

I was considering adding 6.

190ltr tank.

Thanks!

Jonno.

Hi Jonno,

I've got long finned danios and my 9 tiger barbs don't both with them at all. They just leave each other to it, when people advised me against getting them.

I got ones that were about 60 days old, so might be best if you are going to get them get little ones as they might not be big enough to pick on your Rosey Barbs?

Remember to get at least 6 or more as they'll fight amongst themselves - they're cute when they're nose to nose

cheers mate will consider getting a few when my lfs gets them in next.

do they tend to hang about mid tank or lower? my current stock with the exception of my new snowball plec seem to hang about mid-top so looking for something that will lurch in and out of my plants

One or two are getting more braver and moving around in the mid-low region of the tank. The rest are hiding or are at the low levels.
