Tony s Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Tiger barbs get relatively large and always feisty. So chilis would be very expensive fish food 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGibson Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I’d have to agree with what the others said. I’ve not kept tiger barbs myself, but when I worked in one of the LFSs here years ago they were one of the fish I heard the most complaints about from customers who’d put them in community tanks.

NickD Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 @MrGibson@Tony s can you put chilis in a betta tank with juvenile bettas, or will the bettas just attack them even though chilis are centimeters bigger than the bettas I have.

Tony s Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 never had juvenile bettas, very cool btw, i have no idea about their temperament. you could try. just be very alert and move swiftly if you see any aggression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(10 gallons) I don’t think I have a definitive answer here honestly. You may be able to but it may not last as the bettas grow. If you give it a go make sure you have another tank that either the bettas or the chilis can immediately go into if issues arise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
