Tiger Barb Tank Mates

argoma said:
Yes, I am now looking for suitable tank mates for my betta or, at the very least, fish that can be kept in a 15 gallon tank. The betta is not a problem, if none of the ones i like are good to put in with my betta, I can keep him in his 2,5 gallon and have other fish in the 15 gallon, but if I can get any fish in there with it, that would be the best.
 
I just took a look at that list and here are some I liked:
Dario Dario (Scarlet Badis)
Guppy (the fancy ones, which I'm aware I can't put in with Casper)
Licorice Gouramis
Indostomus Crocodilus
Mosquito Rasbora or Chili Rasbora
Celestial Pearl Danio
Green Neon Rasbora
Emerald Dwarf Danio
Dwarf-Spotted Rasbora
Chocolate Gourami
Dwarf Gourami
Bluefin Nothobranch
 
These are some that i liked from the list.
I'm sure I can get Guppy, Dwarf Gouramis, some kinds of Danios and some Rasboras here where I live. Most of those i had never seen before and they are gorgeous but I'm sure most of them aren't sold here. Anyway, let me know which I could put in with a betta or without and how many and if I can house different species together.
Thank you everyone!
 
(And by the way, I'm a she.)
 
Also, could it be a sorority tank for female bettas? Just for future references.
 
rasboras can always be put with bettas. (note: they come from the same biotopes) so do some danios
 
Inostomus crocodilus and dario dario are territorial
 
so are dwarf gouramis

Tiger barbs are proven fin nippers... unless he buys wild or shortfin versions of guppies :D
I repeat, I read this thread as though the OP has accepted he can't really have Tiger Barbs in a 15 Gallon and was asking what else he could put in it.
 
hi!! I have a betta who is living with a group of 6 neons and he's friends with them. They are nice to look at and would fit in your tank. Just make sure you have a lot of plants and everything will be fine.
Other than that, I have shrimp and nerite snails. all in a 20gallon.
hole that helps!
