Krish Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hi guys I came across a school of rosy barbs and I really fell in love with them. Currently I have angelfish in my tank. Will it be feasible to add some rosy barbs as tank mates for the angel fish? Please help me on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Rosy barbs like it cooler than angelfish with a temperature between 64-72 so I wouldn't keep the two together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I have rosy barbs with my angelfish. Barbs are generally known to be nippy but my rosy barbs are somehow angelic. Every barb tank in my lfs had some sort of nipping going on except these guy. Maybe I was just lucky. Can't guarantee if any other may decide to be nippy However I have witnessed the insane diseases ever with the rosy barbs I have never seen in my 15yrs of fishkeeping. All ended up with weird deaths as @Colu also has been constantly exposed to my dms about them. Luckily they gave me surprise fry and they look happy and healthy.

It was mainly temperature keeping them at the higher temperature will also shorten there lifespan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Nobody can guarantee how the two will go. Angelfish can start being aggressive suddenly. And barbs can be nippy as I mentioned. Anyone who will tell they work will be just sharing a very limited personal experience. Just like I did. You seeing conflicting info online means there are scenarios that go both good and wrong. Who knows which will be yours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecloudDynasty Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Get a decent school and it should help. They act up when the school is smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 For what it is worth, I've kept Cherry barbs with angels. Both groups kept to themselves except at feeding time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
