	Tiger Barbs
iowafishguy Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 9 Votes: 1 Registered: 12-Jun-2005	Hello everyone, I have a planted twenty gallon long. I was wondering how many tiger barbs you guys would recommend putting in. This tank will be strictly a tiger barb tank. I was thinking of trying about ten. Thanks

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	6 is a pretty good number. Are we talking a 20 H or L? That might make a difference. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Heres a photo for size comparison against an adult siamese flyer-(about 5 inches) shes a few inches in front of him so you can work out the size comparative.Shes getting on for 5 years old. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a245/longhairedgit/greentigerbarbadult.jpg Last edited by longhairedgit at 03-Oct-2005 03:33
