Aggressive 20

[bud29]

I really would not put 10 tiger barbs in a 20g, they are SUPER active and get larger than what most people think.

An interesting choice would be some shell-dwelling African cichlids. They stay very small, so you can have several, but they still have big personalities and are pretty aggressive. They also make a fun breeding project.

Probably the most common type is neolamprologus multifascitus (spelling is probably incorrect) aka multies. You want a sand substrate, and lots of empty escargot shells on the bottom, as these are what they live in. 3-4 shells per fish is generally a good arrangement, so each can have its own decent-sized territory.

And they're aggressive? They look interesting.

Pretty aggressive - you generally cant keep anything with them except MAYBE top dwellers like hatchets.

She'll dwellers are really cool too! What else can you keep with them?

Generally, they are best kept in species only tanks.

I have personal experience with tiger barb's. Meanest little buggers ever!

Ah, the coolest fish can never be kept together

 

[bud29]

Sometimes you can get away with some top-dwellers, but it's not guaranteed to work. I agree that they are best in a species tank.

You could do a nice school of 7 - 8 tiger barbs and some cories.

A single Demasoni very pretty and very nasty!

A red eye puffer is another option
