Community Tank Type 5
Tiger Barbs/ Active Community Fish
Tiger Barbs are a great
community fish.. They are colorful, active, and very hardy.
Unfortunately they have acquired a reputation as aggressive because they
will nip fins of slow moving fish such as guppies or neons. The solution
is simply to keep them with other active fish. This community tank is
great for beginners because there are so many hardy fish . Barbs and
gouramis are best purchased in groups.
Housing:
This community tank is
suitable for tanks 10 gallon or more with standard filtration and heating.
(For filtration we recommend an undergravel filter and an outside power
filter.) Because many of these fish will grow best results are obtained if you
use a tank of 30 gallons or more. You can use live or plastic plants.
Temperature range 75-80. Maintain 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons
Feeding: Feed twice a day with standard foods such as Flake food, ( Tetra Pro ) brine shrimp, plankton, bloodworms and algae tablets for your catfish. For increased growth rates feed 3 times a day. Supplement with Tetra Color Bits.
