AAAAAGGHHH What should I put in a 39" tank Opinions pls

Tigers - been my lifelong dream, which as of yet hasn't come true! haha

They remind me of pirhannas, and not just tat - if you have mossy, normal and platinum they look AWESOME!! Get some themed decor in there too, and it'll be awesome - maybe dark sand or something!

Tinfoils will outgrow your tank and will more than likely attempt to eat the smaller Barbs.
Denison Barbs require highly oxygenated water and will eventually appreciate more swimming space.
The other three sound fine and with a big shoal of each, the tank would look great.

even though their indangered i chose denizons, i think theyre great, however if it were me i would have a biotype with discus or rainbows with cardinal tetras and a species of loach(ent got a clue which).. oh and must have a gold nugget plec or a royal panque

Ticto barb, Odessa barb these are great looking....

Rosy barb as above
tiger barbs should not be kept with long finned variety's

I don't mind as long as you pay for them yourself. And don't stop helping me with my tanks.

Though I do agree with you that the Green TB's look good. But lets see what opinions there are to get a peaceful (for barbs) tank setup.

And I guess you will add a few Oto's for maintenance.

If it's more peaceful Barbs you are after then consider:

Pentazona Barbs
Cherry Barbs
Gold Barbs
Black Ruby Barb

pentazonas are like tigers but less nippy

Pentazonas aren't nippy at all.

Dad,

Of course I will

Dad,

Of course I will

Lol, what are the other dimensions?

I'd personally widen it from just a barb setup to an asian cyprinid biotope, with a mixture of odessas, black rubys, golds, and Green tigers along with some danios, galaxy rasboras, 2-3 Siamese Algae Eaters and a small group of Botia kubotai, (if theres space)

The tank is 39" long x 15" deep x 18" high.

It has a Fluval 205 external filter
