Are there any non-schoaling barbs and danios?

[Kristian Tombs]

All in the title I love danios and barbs but my new tank doesn't have enough room for a group of them so I was wondering if there are any species of danios or barbs that I could get as a single fish or a pair

10 Gallon Tank

Thanks for listening

 

[Kristian Tombs]

Help me anyone?

None for that sized tank. What else is in the tank? There are a few other solitary fish that might work depending on your stock.

Getting two sparkling gouramis in the next few days as starter fish and then once cycle completed going to add more.

Endlers guppies would look nice

Yeah I was going to get a pair of those a week or two after my pair of sparkling gouramis

As far as I know, all barbs and danios are shoaling fish. About the only ones that may be okay in a 10 gallon would be a school of celestial pearl danios since they tend to be fairly sedentary and small.

Take a look at Rasboras and Tetras, they're schoolers as well, but there's far more varieties stay small and that do well in nano tanks.
