Lvkas Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’m looking to set up a new 40g breeder that is going to have a kribensis pair and anywhere from 15-20 tiger barbs. I have a single tiger barb that killed an entire group of 10 other barbs when I got them all at once, who is the reason for setting up this new tank. I can only get smaller sized tiger barbs from my LFS and the aggressive one is full grown. With that being said would I need to grow out my smaller barbs and then add the mature barb or could I add them all together so they can set up a hierarchy together ? any help with the topic would be appreciated.

Fish Folk Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I would ask my LFS if I could hand off a rogue Tiger Barb, then buy the new younger ones altogether separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvkas Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 @Fish Folk @lefty o With that being said, it seems like I shouldn’t even gamble on tiger barbs. Assuming I can give my murderer to LFS, what do you believe the likelihood is of pulling another psychopath barb? Also how should i go about asking the LFS to take the barb? Is it bad form to do so, and what should be disclosed to them ? The stocking of the tank / nature of the fish? Thank you for the responses! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with, “I have a single Tiger Barb, and am wondering if you could help find him a new home?” I know my LFS well, and might share my whole story. We bred Kribs in a 20-long using Brilliant Rasboras as dithers. Worked great… BAP report video… Krib fry growing out… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
