tiger barbs and neon tetras

[TheRed]

My tiger barbs will eat large feeder guppies, will they also eat neon tetras. The tetras are a little bigger than the guppies, but i don't want to feed my tiger barbs with tetras

Tiger barbs will eat every little thing they can...I wouldn't put them with neons.

I didn't think they were that vicous  :'(

I have 5 Tiger barbs with 10 neon tetras. Never had a problem. I probably would if the neons would be smaller. My neons are 1.5"+. I dont think my barbs could shallow them. What size are we talking about?

 

[Matt Nace]

yes..and how many Tiger barbs do you have anyway?

I suggest around 6 to start or they can be mean.

I have 6 tiger barbs. 3 are fairly large about     1 3/4 in. or so and the others are about 1 in.
The tank is 37 gal if that makes any difference.

It shouldnt make a difference. I have my neons and barbs in a 30G. My barbs are about 2".

Yeah I didn't know how agressive little barbs could be. :'(
