Can I put tiger barbs into a community tank?
Right now I have 20 zebra short fin danios, 6 albino corys, 1 platies (soon to give away), 3 upsidown catfish, 1 bristle nose peleco, 4 mystery snails,3 black kuli loaches, and one red-tail shark. In a 50 gallon tank. I am planning to get at least eight tiger barbs. Plus I want to get some guppies about three maybe. I also want to up schools to fill the extra space.
Ok so I'm good?
ok sweet well I will just get tiger barbs then! thanks!

I have Just brought 20 tiger barbs from my lfs they are very small and I was wondering how long they will take to grow and the best food too feed them to get them big quicker?
Sorry to jump in on your post.

I fed mine TetraMin crisp flakes from day one, then later learned about BloodWorms, Brine Shrimp and veggies / algae wafers.
