madmark285 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 On another forum, someone is claiming that Tiger Barbs have been breed into little terrorist which will kill each other until only one is left. Did Aquarium Co-op have any long term issue with the large Tiger Barb tank you guys setup? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Tiger barb only get aggressive when keeped in small groups the bigger group will stop them picking on one individual and spread aggression among the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesha Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I've had 13 green tiger barbs since October. I realize that's not very long - lol. After quarantine, I moved them into a 20 gallon long. They have grown a lot during that time and definitely have much more rambunctious personalities than say, guppies. But they are all still alive, so far. They don't fight alllll the time. They do short chases and little tussles, I'd call them. But over all, they are very fun to watch and have been easy to keep. Hope that helps.

madmark285 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thanks for the reply. It concerns me that this person is giving Tiger Barbs a bad rap and many beginners may avoid this very cool fish. I hate when people pass on mis-information. I am setting up a 75 gallon tank and plan on getting 20-30 Tiger Barbs. I fully understand their temperament, I want a very active tank. I never heard of Tiger Barbs killing each other off. I also plan on a group of Serpae Tetra and a Rainbow shark. Thanks for the replies... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
