My 30 gallon barb and pleco tank

My 30 gallon barb and pleco tank. I am a newbie and have this tank for only 2 years.

Looks good!! What kind of pleco is it?

It is a sailfin pleco, super hardy and super hard working in cleaning the tank, love it

Unfortunately that tank isn't big enough for the pleco. They can get up to a foot and a half, here's a link to more information about them:

Is that a background or the back wall? Can't tell but it looks great! What type of Barbs are they?

Thanks for the advice . I will definitely upgrade my tank ( maybe have several) once I have a place of my own

It is a background. You should be find it in some fish stores, otherwise, try to get it online.

I originally got albino, jade and regular barbs, but only found that they have different levels of aggressiveness ( jade>regular>albino) . I have only jade and regular ones now

Oh yeah ... the three tiger barb variants. They're also the most notorious fin nippers. I love them ....the Green (jade) Barbs are my favorite. My three have fairly equal levels of aggressiveness .. but since they're in a tank with other Barbs, I don't see it as much I suppose. Except on occasion when the males duke it out for dominance of the shoal ... in fact one of my male albino's the street tough ... gets into it the most!

Nice setup it has a nice clean look to it.
What kind of barbs do you have in there? I can't really see any in the picture.

 

[Bham_lion]

I totally agree , green barbs are my favorite too . But I always find one or two of my barbs are having part of their tails missing. Does that happen to your barbs too? All my albino ones failed to survive in my tank for some unknown reasons

Sorry to hear about your Albinos's probably bad stock.

Yep .. sounds like your males are going at it for dominance of the shoal .. it happens. How many Barbs do you have? As long as no one Barb (usually the smallest) is being bullied by the others, nipped fins among Barbs seems to be the norm.

Is it a 3d background or just one of the regular paper backgrounds? I love that background. I am looking for something just like that.

I used to have more, but recently, some albino ones died and I have only six of them plus one pleco.

It is a regular one. Search online and I am sure you will find it
