Tank size: 120L, 2 ft square
Water: Very hard, alkaline
Plants: heavily planted jungle style in soil substrate
Cycled: 2 year old established tank
Current inhabitants: 9 cherry barbs, 2-3 ancient Amano shrimp and a lot of pond snails.
I would like to try a group of 6 tiger barbs in this tank but I'm concerned the 2ft width would be too small for them. The tank is 120L but deep rather than wide.
I've previously kept platies, guppies, celestial pearl danios and threadfin rainbowfish in this tank with success and I'm happy to stock any of those again if tiger barbs aren't an option. Actually, maybe not the rainbows as my cherry barbs might not be able to resist nipping them.
Ideas & advice appreciated.
