Can i fit one other single fish into the setup? Something that might ruffle them once and awhile, i love how it looks now, but i was just seeing if i could squeeze something else in.

Cheers

tweaky,
How are your nitrAte levels....and any live plants? All the rules of stocking are a good starting point, but how you treat your tank makes a difference as well. Tiger barbs aren't that large, and in the tank they're in they've got the swimming space they need. Not sure you'd be able to fit someone to ruffle them up, but maybe look for someone to fill in the bottom.

^_^

True, tiger barbs aren't that large, but they can get 3-4" each, so I'd still say the tank's pretty much stocked. Only thing I might be able to consider adding would be maybe a couple of ottos (2-3) or a bristlenose catfish for cleaning purposes. Otherwise, I'd just leave it where it is...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.
