Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	My 29g currently has a BN, 3 gold barbs, my blue acara/green terror hybrid, and my severum. This was only a temporary home for the hybrid and sev; they'll be moving into my 75g. I like the gold barbs and was thinking of increasing the school to 6. Being a tall tank I'd also like to add an angel. Would this combination work? If not, any other suggestions? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I never had this fish but I also have never heard that they would be considered nippy, like Tigers. based on this I wouldn’t know why an Angel shouldn’t go with them. How is the tank set up? Any plants or caves for hiding? How about driftwood? Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

So, you could add some of these guys....they're the neatest fish to watch. Their courting behavior is fascinating and the males turn the most gorgeous shade of red when they go after the ladies. ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

Cherry Barbs are very nice & have great colours. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
