Is it possible to breed tiger barbs or rosy barbs in a community tank, or will the eggs just be eaten up... or the fry for that matter? 20 gal 4 tiger barbs 2 rosy barbs 2 albino corys 2 pepper corys 1 ruby shark 1 pleco 2 ottos 1 chinese algae eater

is anyone using wardley gammarus as a supplement food? The reason I ask is that the description is "SUN DRIED gammarus" but I noticed that the container is full of something alive...

what are MN's?? I got 2 otto's (1.25") How big do they get? Do I need driftwood for them? I try feeding the otto's, along with my 2 albino cory's a sinking algae wafer but the tiger and rosie barbs don't let them near it.. Is this normal? Will they be OK with just algae?
