Tank Mates

[Craig Mackay]

Yeah, they're like rabbits. My local aquarium took them off my hands readily as they tend to be a bit rarer up here and sell quickly although they are definately getting more popular now. I guess because they breed so much, lol! Great fish though, I love how the colours change and can get so vivid.

Lookin for a lively fish but not sure what will look good.

I like the look of Pimelodus pictus but heard i need quite a few and wont be upgrading tank for about 6 months

You could add some (3) Corydoras, as you probably know there are a load of variants to choose from. For mid and top tank I would go for something like danio's or tetra's.

I'm not sure if the tiger barbs would bother it but I really like African Butterfly fish, never tried them with tiger barbs.

Good Luck
John

I like Green Tiger Barbs, would they shoal with the Tigers Barbs or not?

They do yes, i had tigers, green tigers and gold/albino tigers that all seemed to shoal together. make for a very lively tank especially when you add some bloodworm
