Hi all!
I have just bought a tank, 60cmL x 50cmH x 30cmW, has about 80 liters of water in it. I have 5 Tiger Barbs and two sucking catfish (Gyrinocheilus Aymonieri), all 5 barbs and both the catfish seem very happy in there.
My question is, how many tiger barbs can I have in this size tank? To be clear, I'm talking about adult size Tiger Barbs, in this tank permanently, what is a nice number? I know this question has been asked loads of times, but as my tank is higher than a standard 2 footer, I thought I'd ask just to make sure I know the right numbers for this tanks size.
Additionally, what sort of flow rate should I be getting (canister filter) for whatever number of barbs you recommend as a happy limit (currently have a small internal filter but am going to replace it with a canister).
Thanks in advance!
