Tiger barbs and Bolivian Rams

[Forest3544]

i have a 55g tank, with some tetras and 6 tiger barbs, I was wondering if some Bolivian Rams would work with the tiger barbs.
Thanks

It can work. I have had Bolivians with tigers and black Ruby's. My advice would be to up the number of tigers if you try it. Otherwise, it could be a problem. The best case would be either to match the tigers or the Bolivians with a dither that is less complicated

Okay then yeah, I've heard of certain types of tetras being agressive to other fishes. Like my black skirt tetras for example, i havent heared of agression in those fish so i think you are good.

Of course you can. Although Bolivian rams aren't the most durable fish in the aquatic
world, they are a lot tougher than your tetras. The Bolivians I have kept were primarily bottom level swimmers. Tiger barbs occupy the mid to top levels of a tank. As long as you have a group of tiger barbs, they should spend their time chasing each other and ignore the other fish. The Bolivians will fight back if the barbs pick on them.
