Two Tanks Big Fish Posts: 449 Kudos: 328 Votes: 13 Registered: 02-Jun-2003	From what I understand, Tiger Barbs can be agressive. I have glowlights, and find them very slow and docile. I am not sure that is a good combination, but think the others would be OK.

chrism Enthusiast Posts: 152 Kudos: 109 Votes: 19 Registered: 14-Jul-2004	i think 8 is the minimum recommended number to keep the agression between themselves, i have no experience of this as the tiger barbs i keep are in a Tiger Barb only tank... are you planning on planting your tank?

i_spaz_out Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 67 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Jul-2005	the tiger barbs are a toos up. but i think 8's enough to keep them to themselves, rather than nipping the others.

Plant _LoveRR Hobbyist Posts: 67 Kudos: 36 Votes: 10 Registered: 01-Oct-2005	Yes, I've had tiger barbs for a while with some glowlight tetras. I had 11 tigers and 7 glowlights and the tigers mostly kept to themselves occaisionally bothering a tetra or two if it came near their "territory". Hope this helps!

Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	I don't know if this is of interest, but I've read that the albino tiger barbs (which I think rather nifty), are less aggressive/nippy than the normal coloring. shrugs Not sure why this is. Can't remember where I read it, of course. smacks self ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~
