FoxRob said:I have 6 tiger barbs now, moved them into a 29 gallon tank after coming home to my rosey barbs being all nipped up. We put a pair of kissing gouramis in the 29 gal along with a common pleco and 3 cory cats, the tiger have nipped 2 of the corys today and one of them has already died waiting to see what happens with the other since there are big chunks taken out of them and they were still chasing it when I got home. So I'm moving the corys into a 10 gallon that I'm going to a friends house to pick up. The corys are currently in a breeder to separate them from the tigers.

That common pleco will out grow that 29 gallon in a hurry or you may even stunt its growth, try rehoming it and getting a BN Pleco.

I feel like doing the same or getting a pair of black convicts for them, see how they like being nipped apart.My dad actually flushed them. sad for the fishes....but those angels were his pride and joy. RIP Dad...
I don't recommend flushing them but u do what u feel is best.
