Ramrod Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi I'm just getting back into fish keeping. I have a 29 gallon set up and cycling. I plan on doing 6 tiger barbs and 6 cory cats. My 2 questions are what is a non-schooling fish that would add some popping color? & in what order should I add the fish? I don't plan on purchasing them all at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 cory's are pretty tough, id start with them, give it a week or so, then add something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstname-lastname Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I'd do tiger barbs last as they can be a bit aggressive and very nippy from my secondhand experience. If you added corydoras to the tiger barbs I imagine they'd get pretty stressed from being added to a new tank and immediately getting picked on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramrod Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Thanks that's what I was thinking would work best. Now I just got to find something to add a little more color that will get along well with both Corey cat's & tiger barbs that isn't a schooling fish because I don't have room for Another school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
