 | Cherry Barbs shoaling with Neon tetras? |
cbcinnie Fingerling Posts: 49 Kudos: 49 Votes: 8 Registered: 10-Sep-2005   | Is this normal? They aren't always together but about half the time they are. I got a 29 gallon tank on Thursday and got it set up on Friday so this is all still new to them. |

They are trying to seek anything that remotely resembles safety. Another example is clown loaches, which might shaol with tiger barbs. |
