Hello everyone, I have kept tetras for most of the time I have had tanks and really want to try something else. I have been warned off of tiger barbs by other fish keepers and sellers before but would like to know what other people thought. Obviously if I was to get some I would have 6-8 and be keeping the with 2 petricola catfish, a clown plec, a severum, a keyhole cichlid( you are probably thinking what the **** is he doing with a keyhole and severum in the same tank but they are very respectful of each others space and rarely cross each other), a kuhli loach a pearl gourami and a red line torpedo barb. I have a 55 gal tank and am running a bioflow 360 filter with 7 live plants and enough hiding spaces to keep any fish happy. What I really want to know is how tolerant they are of other fish and if they really are as bad as their reputation
