tbh i don't really find that the barbs are aggressive to others, they do seem to play with themselves though. Just to let you know both green barbs have died. :sad: Now looking at the number of barbs I have; Will they be okay together or should I go and buy a few more to bring up the...

Many thanks for your reply. I have 4 tiger barbs, 2 green barbs (both ill greens passed over night :sad: ) and 4 Red diamond barb. Will they be okay together or should I have 6+ of each.

Hi there, These are the fish I have in my 140 litre tank. I would like to add a few endler/guppy type fish but I would like to know if they will be compatible with the fish that i have, because i have been told some of the fish (mainly the barb) may nip at them. Any suggestions/thoughts will be...
