tolstoy21 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I know they are just color variants of the same species, but does this affect their schooling behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I haven't kept them, but it's my understanding that any shoaling fish of the same species will shoal together regardless of color variation. So green and albino tiger barbs will shoal with the typical ones, glo tetras, white skirt tetras, and black skirt tetras will shoal together, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I don't have a precise answer for you, but my guess would be that they will school together, when they are of a mind to. All of my adopted fish seem to seek out others of the same size, speed and temperament when they don't have others of their own kind. As I am typing this, my lone tiger barb is swimming with the ember tetras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec2cool Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I have 6 tiger barbs and 2 green tiger barbs, they all school together. I haven't seen them seperate based on color at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
