tiger barb

I am very new to aquariums and though I have the best intentions, I don't understand a lot of what's happening in my tank. I've had a group of 5 tiger barbs for about 5 weeks now. I've had a couple die and I have replaced them. Yesterday the fish we're fine so I did a scheduled regular water...

Hello all I have a 14 gallon tank, 6 tiger barbs and 6 white tetras plus a pleco. I came from work to find the pleco finishing off one of the tiger barbs! I didnt see that it was sick or anything and the others look ok. Why did it die? Did my pleco kill it?

As the title suggests I have a community tank but only my Tiger Barbs are dying. I woke up this morning and everything seemed fine, an hour later 2 were dead, 1 died this afternoon, and 1 died this evening. Does anybody have any idea what could affect my tiger barbs only? So you have a bit of...

Hi guys :) I'm new to the forum but not new to Fishkeeping as such. Rather, i'm new to keeping small fish such as Tetras and barbs. My usual choice would be Oscars, Firemouth Cichlids and even the occasional Red Devil. I thought i'd go for a change this time around and instead have decided to...

I am selling/giving away all of my fish as I do not have the room for the tank in my new place.   The fish for sale are: 1 x Silver Dollar (Quite large, couple of years old, nearly 5 inches in length.) 1 x Bristlenose Catfish (Mouth is a little weird on it, but had it for 2 years now and it's...

Hello,   I appreciate some guidance regarding this situation.  I am a beginner and I bought 2 tiger barbs, 2 sunshine platy, and 2 panda platy.  Upon introducing all 6 fish into the tank,one of the tiger barbs will not stop chasing the other barb (not the other fish though). To stop this...

Hello everyone!!!!!  New to the forum, recently helped my girlfriends brother with some fishkeeping tasks, cleaning the tanks, learned a little about the process, and found myself quite intrigued.  I have never kept an aquarium before and found myself oddly gravitating towards the idea of...
