How many tiger barbs can go in a 65 litre tank with 4x corys

 

[Lowryder]

Ugh you guys and your metric system! Thats what like 20g? you prob could get away with 5.

 

[fishyperson3010]

ok thanks

 

[Fishie]

Yes I agree a school 5 or 6. I'm with gallons too

 

[fishyperson3010]

65L is 17g. Big no for the tiger barbs.

A 65 liter's too small for a school of TB's, a school of 4-5 cherry
Barbs would do better.

What else could I get that are like tiger barbs

Cool! Is it a long? I thought if it was a long that would be okay ?

If its the same as my 65L it's close to a 20g tall.
+1 on the cherry barbs.

 

[fishyperson3010]

It's a long tank

 

[Mumma.of.two]

Still too small. Ate you wanting fish that look like the barbs or other barbs?

 

[fishyperson3010]

Both really and ok I will put the barbs in my 47 gallon tank

 

[fishyperson3010]

Look like and are other barbs

And I know this isn't about tiger barbs but in the 65L can I get some nano fish and shrimp + 1 larger peaceful fish as the main fish that won't eat the small fish or the shrimp I like ember tetras, scarlet badis, chilli Rasboras, endlers, Pygmy and dwarf corys and cherry shrimp

Yes! That's a good plan. A much better fit for that tank.

 

[fishyperson3010]

How many of each do you think I could get and what could be the larger centerpiece fish

 

[Mumma.of.two]

6-8 small schoolers, 6 cories and a handful of shrimp. CP fish will depend on what you choose as your schoolers. Some are shy species that won't do well with more aggressive feeders and will get out competed for food. Dwarf gouramis, honey sunset gourami, sparkling gourami trio (sensitive) or Betta (could eat shrimp and disagree with tank mates) are all options.

I was thinking
4x Ember Tetra
4x Chilli Rasbora
4x Endler
2x Pygmy Cory
2x Dwarf Cory
2x Scarlet Badis
And about 8 Cherry Shrimp

All of those except endlers and maybe the scarlet badis (not 100% on that) need schools of 6+ so I would choose between the embers, chillies and endlers and choose between the cories so you can have a school of 6 of one kind.
