My 29gallon Aquarium

I had them with Pictus catfish in the 55gallon tank, could those have been the culprits? or mabye the RTBS, could he be the little fin nipper??

Also, would a shoal of say 6 cherry barbs be alright?

So the final tank stock would be 10 cory catfish, 1 BN pleco, 1 clown pleco, 2 angelfish, 1 butterfly fish and 6 cherry barbs (and possibly the RTBS)...

Would the RTBS be alright in a 75gallon tank with african cichlids??

Yes, the RTBS could be the culprit... I'm not sure if the Pictus would do that kind of damage, although I could easily be wrong...

Cherry barbs seem like a better choice, less aggressive, and don't grow as big. I think the RTBS in an african tank will probably be hit or miss. We put one in at work, he got beat up. We put another one in at work, he was fine...

Alright, thanks for the info, my little RTBS (4" so not so little lol) can stand up for himself quiet easily... He used to take on my Senegal Bichir (11") when it came to feeding time lol.

Cool. He is still little, he should get quite a bit bigger then 4". Although most of them max out at about 5-6, I have seen some big ones (8-9 inches) !
