I hate fish!

Loyal to the Oil · 05-03-2007, 07:32 PM

I have tiger barbs. They are known for nipping fins so i would avaid them in with anything that has large fins (guppies would be bad).

Other than that tho they are fine as long as you have 8 or more (i have read 6 but have run into trouble with that few). I have molly's and cardinals with them and they just chase eachother around all day and dont bother the other fish. In my opinion cardinals and tigers are 2 of the nicest looking and colorful FW fish and it just turns out they are some of the cheapest. Perfect if you ask me !

Cardinals are cheap? They run $7-$9 each here.

I bought cardinal tetras at my LFS the other day for 97 cents each. Granted it was a one day sale but reg price is only about $2.99. I couldnt dream of paying $9 for a tiny little schooling fish !
