Aquarium Fish :: View topic – krib aggression
Hi Kle Mine were ok, yes they chased the other fishes, but never hurt anyone. They decided to keep 3/4 of the tank (4ft) for themselves, but let the others live in the other parts. My tank was VERY well planted, and I guess that helped a lot. It was great to watch them herding […]
Aquarium Fish :: View topic – African Barbs
I’m trying to devise a biotope aquarium featuring African ciclids (not great lakes cichlids though) – maybe Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi, a couple elephant nosed fish and some barbs. The whole thing will be full of anubias, bogwood, and maybe lillies. So what barbs are appropriate. I’m having trouble finding species, but I can order some. Can […]

Aquarium Fish :: View topic – Are they community fish?
Hi Naz, Tiger barbs (Capoeta tetrazona) are definate fin nippers. Especially on gouramis. They treat all fish as other tiger barbs, and when they do not act ‘barbishly’ enough they will be bullied. Its a pecking order thing, Many fish nip fins, and the ‘king’ of the tank is the one with the best tail. […]
