Hi all I have a 14g tank with a bristlenose pleco and red tail shark, neither are fully grown, they're about 2 inches each. I've had an issue as of late, adding tiger barbs that died very quickly 1 by 1...our water parameters are fine as I already made a post and there really is no reason...

I'm not really too picky , I just wanted a colorful fish that would work with the fish I already have. Thanks for all the advice

Unfortunate :( I am keeping an eye on the red tail, he hides a lot now that there are no barbs. He was most active when they were all still alive. The bristlenose has appeared to be normal, he was just out eating on the wall of the tank. It sucks that I'm not sure what is going on, the test...

Tank has been running since December, being new to aquariums I removed so much water in a change that the...

Hi all! First post, wish it was happier and I hope it's in the right place! I have a 14 gal aqueon FW tank kit with 1 bristlenose cat, 1 redtail shark, and (now) 3 Tiger Barbs. We originally bought 3 barbs... About 4 days later I woke up to 1 dead on the substrate, nothing visibly wrong just...
