Do the tiger barbs get more aggressive as they get older? I have some but they don't bother anything else in my tank. I do plan on giving them a bigger tank in the near future.

Well the amount of aggression from the tiger barbs is usually related to how many you have. Size doesn't play as much of a factor. If you have a ton of them, they will usually just focus on harassing each other, while just one of them in a tank will most likely try to destroy everything.

Haha well I have 7 so that is likely why they aren't aggressive toward other fish. I don't even notice them aggressive with each other.

I have 7 as well in a 20 gallon which I plan to move to my 75 but how many banded kuhlis could I put in with my whole stocking list and how many polka dots could I put as well

 

[Fishninja]

Actually cut the polka dots I will just kuhlis so how many???

I would go with at least 10. I don't think they have a big bio load for their length. Someone correct me I I'm wrong on that.

Your right. Because they are so thin and snake like in body shape they don't have a big bioload

 

[Fishninja]

So what is the maximum amount? Thanks

If they are the only bottom dwellers in a 55 gallon i would recommend 10 as that is a large group and along with a sandy area they would exhibit very natural behaviour

Yeah but I changed it to a 75 with a rainbow shark

When then ten would be great maybe a schoal of 6 cories (julii, sterbai and panda are the best) maybe even three of each I can only dream of having such a large tank haha

 

[Fishninja]

Yes indeed. Kuhlis will be good. They always look so nice in shops

 

[Fishninja]

5-10 kuhlis or 5 of each up to you.

Will two different kind of loaches interact and school slash play with each other or something like that

I think so. As long as they look similar and are pretty much the same size. Because corydoras julii and corydoras Sterbai will school together.

Ok thanks
