I have a 35gal bow front begging to be set up. It's a ways off but I am already planning.
Here's the thing. I was planning to do a all or mostly tiger barb tank (with some greens and albinos too). However I recently discovered that what I thought to be a regular upside-down catfish (in my 25gal community) is actually a featherfin catfish. Points to petstore labeling. However, I find it hard to be upset with such a beautiful fish. Big size difference tho.
So the featherfin will go in the 35gal once set up. My question is, will the tiger barbs be a good fit with him?? He's a big boy now, about 6 inches from nose to tail tip.
My other option would be to move everyone from the 25 to the 35 including the catfish. And make the 25 my barb tank... I hate stressing the community with such a big move tho...
Featherfin is currently in the 25gal with:
1 Emerald Cory
8 Bloodfin tetras
1 Balloon Molly
3 Nerite snails
