	Tiger Barbs With Cherry Barbs???
Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	I have 5 Tigers that are relatively peaceful. They co-exist in a 29 gallon tank with a Flame Gourami, 4 Black Ruby Barbs and a Bolivian Ram with never an incident of fin nipping. Could i add a male and female Cherry Barb to this tank? I feel like my tank needs some more color. Whenever people see my tank they say that it's nice and lively but could use more color. Would there be other options other than Cherry Barbs that i could squeeze in? I'm trying to stick with an Asian theme (other than the Ram). I do 25% water changes once a week. Thanks!!!
