Hi,
I just added 2 cherry barbs (so cute) .. in with platties, guppies & danios.
Does anyone know if this is a good mix. I was sold tiger barbs once and they attacked my guppies tail fins so I took them back and changed to danios.
I am watching them and they seem to keep to themselves happy picking at peas at the bottom of the tank.
BUT .. I am going away on holidays for 1 week in a few days and would prefer to know if anyone else has had experience so I can put them in a bowl just in case.
Also, I read on the forum that fish can survive a week without feeding. Is this really better than using a small weekend feeder .. that way it's not too much but something ?
And in an earlier thread I read somewhere that danios cannot take high temps. What would be considered high temps.
I did suspect ich in my tank a while ago and used salt and raised the temp and everyone survived (touch wood) bar 2 danios.
Thanks
Desley
