New to this. Advice on my fish?

[Kiss1973]

Hi all, new to this aquarium thing but enjoying my journey so far. I have a 130 Lt tank freshwater tropical. I have 7 tHarlequin Rasbora
Tetras, 3 silvertail tetras, 1 dwarf Gourami, 3 silver mollies, 1 dalmation mollie and 2 tiger barbs. Good or bad mix?

Welcome to Aquarium Advice!

The tiger barbs may give the other fish some trouble, the more barbs you have the less aggressive they will be to other fish. but the other fish sound like a good mix

 

[Kiss1973]

Would you recommend more tiger barbs?

 

[George9]

Yes, I'd recommend maybe 5 more. So that would be a total of seven. They're cool to watch school, and when they're in bigger numbers they will keep their aggression to a minimum

Thanks for your Advice

Just one more question will my tank be well stocked then or room for more fish.

 

[George9]

I think you'd be pretty close to stocked but you migjt have room for another smaller fish depending on what species. With the mix you have though, its going to be a pretty active tank

In regards to the Tiger barbs do I need to get 5 tigers or can I get a mix of Barbs?

 

[George9]

You could mix different types of tiger barbs, but I'd stick to just ths tiger barbs.

Also get more silver tails as they need schools

 

[Kiss1973]

Having a slight problem. It seems I have hungry fish. Two of the mollies have been devoured! Any ideas?

My guess is your barbs are the attackers. You need to have a large group of them or else they will beat up other fish.
