A pair of Rosy barbs?

[Lilt Man]

Hi All

I was considering getting a pair of Rosy Barbs to compliment the Danios and minnows that i have in the tank.

What are they like as a community fish? As i intend to add cardinal tetras and Rummy noses at a later stage.

Thanks everyone.

I have a pair of Rosy Barbs. They are in a 37 Gallon tank with 5 tiger barbs, and 1 firemouth cichlid.

they are really cool. they like to swim back and forth, hang out together, and they leave everyone else alone. Also, no one messes with them either. They seem to really keep to themselves. They really brighten up a tank too.

They are excellent community fish from what I can see, and most things i've read about them say the same. Go for it!
