Wondering...

OK I moved my fish around to give more room until I can get my bigger tank all set up and running. But am wondering if it's going to cause problems, as it alrady has. I have tiger barbs (6), a rainbow shark, and a cory cat in the 10 gal tank for now and also had my Betta in there. This morning the Betta had almost no tail left. I want to make sure that the Tigers are not going to do this to the other fish or vise a virsa that are still in the tank. If it's even thought that are I will move the them into another tank so they can be safe. I don't want my little fishies hurt.

That's what I thought, I have moved him to another tank and will be starting meds and the long process of helping him grow his tail back. I just want to make sure that they will not do it to the other 2 ish that are in with them now. I have the Albino rainbow shark and the Albino Cory cat in there yet. If they are going to beat up on either of them, then I will move them out.

It's hard to say. Tiger barbs are fairly aggressive, and to lower the aggression, one way to do that is to get more tiger barbs, that way the aggression that is present with them will be spread more though out the school of the tiger barbs. But since you have them all in a 10 gallon, I would not suggest getting any more fish until you get a bigger tank.
