Then your right you have the meanest fish ever lol.

DGAFPolar said:not sure, ill do a test tomorrow with all the levels, if it is way too high, would taking the barbs out and reestablishing the tank to a proper cycle be too much for the barbs to handle?
DGAFPolar said:yea, it seems every bit of trouble i have ever had with my tank has been odd levels. no worries, i will have it taken care of tomorrow. could my filters be holding anything bad in them? i have a good build up on them and i'd hate to waste it
Sharkbait54 said:My barbs were added last, they didn't come out of the corner in the tank in two days. My kribs are very aggressive and can handle their selfs the gourami does his own thing, my betta actually chases the barbs.
I'm no expert but maybe the key is to get aggressive fish that can handle their own?
As for the Rts he was died probably cause of stress. And being in a small tank.
Mumma.of.two said:Or maybe your fish have not matured
Sharkbait54 said:I know I stated they are juvies.
Mumma.of.two said:And I'm saying that's probably why they get along. That's all. You can have a tank full of juvie fish that get along but once they mature it's a different story.

Sharkbait54 said:His are an inch also that's why I think it's weird his are do aggressive. But in the end it all depends on the fish.
I'm fixing to remove the betta cause when those barbs find out they are barbs he's a goner.
Mumma.of.two said:Haha that's good. Bettas think they are all that but are really just sooks.
Thinking the OPs fish are dying of other causes (like high nitrate and/or ammonia/ nitrite).
DGAFPolar said:yea, water lvls are fine, i change the water every month and do an evaporation refill every 2 weeks. if it was the water then why have the barbs outlasted over 12 other animals? i mean the barbs were the first ones in
DGAFPolar said:Ok so my lvls are all messed up, im gonna do a few water changes and make sure there's nothing left on the floor. Then im gonna wash out the filters like you guys suggested. I have friend who has an 80 gal take with a TON of barbs in it, he said he would take my barbs if they were all good after a few day in his isolation tank. So now that the barbs are gone what would you guys suggest for a 20 gal tank that is now totally empty. I would love active fish who use the whole tank to play and i would like something to help with the brown algae. I am thinking of 2 snails, but will they eat the brown? Also i'm getting a 15 gal tall tank for Christmas, any ideas on a good set up for it?
