Kim  Big Fish Posts: 327 Kudos: 436 Registered: 11-Apr-2004  | That should be OK. Barbs are supposed to be fin-nippers, but I've kept lots of cherry barbs with no nipping. Pet Warehouse and Walmart often carry females. Kim |

So_Very_Sneaky   Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004  | Hi, If you want to breed the cherry barbs then go for option 3. Cherrys, ghost shrimp, and a couple of ottos. Go with 4 cherrys, 4 ghost shrimp and 2 ottos. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |

Theresa_M  Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004  | The problem I see with your options is keeping only one oto; they definitely like to have company. If you've never kept them before I suggest you read [link=this article]http://www.fishprofiles.com/articles/freshwater/oto.asp" style="COLOR: #FFCC99[/link]. Breeding fish like cherrie is often difficult because they eat the eggs. The May issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist has a good article on breeding egg scatterers; they actually use cherries in the photos included in the article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
