Hi, my only remaining tiger barb has been terrorizing my 18 gal 4 a while, & hes started tearing up the plants so ive decided 2 move him 2 my 55 gal which contains the following:
Fake plants
Driftwood
2 silver dollars
1 rainbow shark
2 dojo loaches
5 buenos aires tetras
Im just wandering if theres anything I should look out for. I knw im prob overstocking but my othet 55 has angelfish & I heard they dont mix with tb's. So any advice on this?
 
TB's are shoaling fish so just having one is what's bringing out this aggression and It won't get any better in the 55gal. Adding 4 more TB's should help as they focus their agrees ion on each other.

If the TB's a juvenile .. About an inch, the 18gal's ok for now, but eventually TB's need at least a 30gal.
