Hey everyone,
I've recently stocked my tank with 15 juvenile Tiger Barbs (appx 1.5 cm long, standard coloring) and have a question about some spots a couple of them have.
3-4 of them have a dark spot on either side between their normal black bands. The spots are the same color as the bands. Will these spots disappear as they mature, or are they a product of poor breeding?
Either way, I don't mind as I love the fish for what they are but i'm curious as the LFS guy says they will disappear and I (like many others) can be hesitant to take their word as law.
Thanks.
