My new, shocking discovery

[Goldfish loach boy]

I have made a shocking discovery, they say that barbs are aggressive, but my mother bought them, I did not know they were barbs, and they have been in my community tank, how's that! There is four of them!

I had them before and they were really good fishes and at long as there is enough to keep the other one busy no problems

This was pretty shocking to me, I had no idea, especially with small fish like my rasboras

I'm no expert but I think you have cherry barbs one of the lesser aggressive types of barb. Tiger barbs are the ones to worry about IMO.

These are glass barbs

Not all bàrbs are bad!

These are glass barbs

If they are the same as mine, red glass barbs, then they are not to aggressive.

Really, I thought barbs do best with barbs

I have had a school of rosy barbs for about a year now, and I have never had a problem with them fin nipping. I hear, though I have never had them, tiger barbs are the real fin nippers. I think most other barbs, as long as they are in a school, do really well in a community tank.

I had 2 cherry barbs with RCS and neon tetras in a 10 gallon once and they did fine!

Cherry barbs aren't aggressive at all IME I also have gold barbs never had issues with them either.
