I want tons of tiger barbs!!! equinom please chime in

[TommyB]

So since my 55 gallon has just been destroyed by an ick or fungis problem, when it settles in about 2 weeks i'm going to be adding some new fish. I really liked my tiger barbs and since my LPS hass about 4 different varieties of tiger barbs i was thinking of getting a bunch of "clans" for the new tank.


The tank currently has:

3 Blood Parrots
1 White Gourami
1 Blue Gourami
1 Pleco

1 Very sick barb who may not make it

My LPS has beautiful Albino Tigers, some really nice green ones and some great examples of tigers(the fins are florescent.)


i wanted 4 of each, would that be too many?

sounds fine to me, I would just be a little worried about hte blood parrots. I guess it really matters on what type of filtration you have.

Tiger barbs are fin nippers and the gourami's well they have a lot to nip at. So unless you get rid of the gourami's I wouldnt advise that you get them.
