I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

But maybe think of another fish than the Danios as they get boring in no time (at least they did for me). Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

i_spaz_out Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 67 Votes: 1 Registered: 10-Jul-2005	no2 does have too many tiger barbs, but they would look really cool all together.... the more the merrier. i'd almost go with a bunch of tiger barbs and a couple kribs... actually that's exactly what i'm doing with my 29gal... but i might add some danios as well. you'll notice with the tiger barbs that the more you have, the less timid they are toward you... i had 4 to start with and everytime i walked past the tank they'd scurry to the back. i just added 2 albinos and now they just go on with their business whenever i go by. i'm torn between the two... for your tank and my own.

longhairedgit Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005	Tank 2 is way overstocked, tiger barbs- especially the green colour variants can get very chunky, even though theyre not that long, and although i like kribs - they are a bit territorial to have in high stocked tanks, as they start trying to breed some violence will probably ensue. The kribs long tipped dorsal fin will probably become a target for fin nipping at some point too- and you might find that he gives a small barb a thorough kicking as a result.
