Hey guys, i recently got myself a 180l tank (FRF-900 by Fish r Fun) and was just looking for ideas for a community tank to set up after it's cycled.
I definatly want some tiger barbs and realise that they can be nippy, but everything i've read says they stop nipping or greatly reduce it once in a group of 6 or more, and i was thinking of about 8 or 10 or so lol

so basically, which other community type or even some larger species of fish (not too large mind you!) would you guys reccomend to be kept with tiger barbs? colour isn't a factor, i just want some shoaling fish and/or a larger fish as like a centre piece.

Thanks in advance

Tim
 
Lots of options really....just make sure whatever you put in with them are agile things....I would expect giant danios would be sizeable enough and nimble as well....two keys here:

  1. robust, agile fish as tankmates
  2. keep a decent sized school of Tiger Barbs so they keep their antics more amongst themselves and spread it around the shoal

I'm sure others here are more up on what can be kept with them but that would be some basic starting info to go on
