tiger barbs!!!

[Foley_chcc]

I've bought my first new tank and got some fish after about a month. I have bought four tiger barbs and only one of them is green and the others are stripey, the green barb has been bullying the others what should I do?!?!?!

You might well find that 4 Tiger Barbs is not enough to spread out their natural "aggression". I normally advocate having at least 6, ideally more - but your tank would be starting to look a bit overstocked. They might settle down, but keep a close watch on them.

They are establishing pecking order, but with a larger tank I would recommend 8 tiger barbs, to evenly distribute the bulliness that they give out!
