Fish Set-Up

[DavidPenniall]

My Mom and Dad are going to buy me a 6ft tank for Christmas, and I would like a nice looking fish and before I make the mistake I made with my last tanks and buy then find out the fish can’t be together after. So can these live together in a 6ft tank?

• 8 x Tiger Barbs
• 6 x Clown Loaches
• 6 x Bela Sharks
• 6 x Gold Barbs
• 6 x Zebra Danios
• 4 x Siamese Algae Eaters

Hi there

What are the dimensions of the tank and volume wise of the tank you're thinking of?,i'm no expert but i know that bala sharks (up to 14 inches)and clown loaches (6")grow to a fair size

i wouldn't think you could mix barbs with bala sharks and clown loaches as they get fairly big and may try and eat the barbs and danios.

so u may want to decide, big fish or small fish, how many gallons/litres is this new tank?

Neither are predatory, besides which catching tiger barbs is a tricky job even for definite piscavores.
