They are very neat a bit skittish to light but very active could 6 of these live comfortably in a 29gal? Their in my 55 right now but their tankmates might see them as food so I was wondering if I should switch them to the peaceful tank
They look like my tiger barbs and mine are a little skittish to light also. I have 3 tigers in my 20 gal along with several other fish. I don't see why they wouldn't be fine with a 29 gal. Just watch them cause if they are tiger barbs they are fin nippers and will pick on the other fish no matter the size especially if they have them out numbered.
Almost all barbs are schoolers that should be kept six or more at at time. They can be very nippy and it is not unheard of for them to pick on smaller, peaceful fish until death.
Never heard of them before...but they do look like long finned tigers. But since they don't have 4 stripes -it's barbus tetrazona(four zones) for a reason- they aren't...
