Torpedo Barb

[Lawrence1584]

I have one torpedo barb in with silver sharks, gold severums etc. I've tried putting another one in and they just kept fighting. If I was to put a group of three or more in, would they be ok? Many thanks

Like other barbs, you need several to keep agression down. From what I have read you need a minimum of 5. I have 6 in my 125 gal barb tank.

ye i have 2 and they are pretty sad got a new 330L tank i was recommended to get around 10 of them to me that would be way to many for the new tank how many would you say fit into my new tank?

Yes a group would be much better - they're shoaling fish so groups are best for them
