You shouldn't put little fish like Tetras with fish that will get big like Bala Sharks. I just learned that the hard way today. I have a foot long Goldfish and it literally swallowed one of my new tiger barbs. They just don't coexist well in an aquarium together.
first off that noise is annoying as hell should voice over it with some music if possible with an editor next is thoose 4 balas are gonna outgrow that tank super fast i have 3 in a 30 gallon tank now and they are almost 5 inchs and are outgrowing it and i've only had them for a few months third they shouldn't be living with tiger barbs they are fin nippers and balas are a peaceful community fish unlike rainbow and redtail sharks and 3rdly the tetras will be lunch for everyone in there
@ABWorsham4 ya they get huge my biggest one just died he was 12 inchs and 4 inchs wide they get HUGE and i didn't even know he'd get that big he had his own 20 gallon till the end i originally had him in a 30 gallon with other fish once he got to 6 inchs i moved him to the 20 alone
got a 30 gallon tank with 3 tiger barbs i bought a plainum guroami and 4 blue neon tetra's... the tiger barbs been killing em as soon as i droped em tetras in.. any solution??
@garrette94 tiger barbs nip at fins my last tank died cause I had some tropical fish then I added them and the tiger barbs ate em lol. So i never buy em. If your gonna buy em with other fast moving fish or put them into a large group. I would recomend putting them in a diff dtank.
Actually they reach 2 feet in captivity. They don't most of the time because people keep them in too small aquariums and think their cute little 2 in bala will stay that way forever and ever and ever.......and ever
I have an aquarium with 4 silver dollars, 2 tiger barbs and 2 neon tetras. The neons were originally bought to feed my tiger barbs, but since my tiger barbs are scared of them(neon tetra), i just left them in the tank
They wont eat anything..The only time my tetras were eaten was when I left for a week and found the balas 3 times bigger and no tetras but they were cheap anyways
If they (the neons) fit in the Bala Sharks mouth then theres a high chance that they will be eaten. As for the tiger barbs they should be fine with the balas. I have 4 Tiger barbs with my 2 Balas.
ji there - noticed something about your tank - on the left hand side, right early on in the clip , see the tiger barbs "headstanding".... they are great indicators of poor water quality or contaminants in there... they have really sensitive systems. look it up .. time for a water change.
Actually, tiger barbs live in groups where they compete to be the alpha fish. A tiger barb doing a head stand is their way of accepting the other as the dominant fish. :)
omfg u loser neons will get killed buy the sharks wen they get bigger and killed buy the barbs while there small get them out f there of u wnt have any neons left soon
that's not true. I have a 9" bala that was with about 10 neons, some demios, and 8 tiger and green tiger barbs. They all got along fine. Don't go around making dick comments if you don't know your facts
Wouldn't recommend it...when they get older they become a little nippy, unless you have a petshop that would let you trade after it gets too big, or even pawn it off to someone with a bigger tank.
Was thining of getting 2 or 3 for my 32 gallon
Some fish do grow to a certain size depending on their environment, but they also don't last as long if their growth is stunt.
hey i like your fish tank^^ can someone help me i have a 10 gallon tank with 5 neon tetras what kind of fish should i mix with them or should i add more fish >? like more neons ?
i notice something interesting about my bala shark its shoals with my single redline torpedo barb they live happily with4 dwarf gouramis and a shoal of glowlight tetras.
tiger barbs are aggressive no really a good community fish and the bala's do grow big but really depends on tank size and amount of fish in there the neon tetras most likley get eaten first lol
oto's suck they hardly eat algae and get pissy when bigger, buy a bristle nose pleco and get more tiger barbs they are great and hardly any trouble when kept is a shoal of 6 or more
ok someone please respond...my tigerbarb keeps taking off thefind on one of my bigger fish so i put my biggerfish in an enclosed area that the tiger barb cant get in. How lnog should i do this.. also i have an albino frog in my tank that can only live in water, but so far it has eaten a tigerbarb a silverdollar and almost my big longfinned fish that have all been nipped by my tiger barb.
Tiger barbs nip. You can't really mix them with long tailed or slow fish. You basically can't completely stop this from happening. Mix the right fish next time and this won't happen.
i have a question..my niece have 5 tiger barbs and i notice 2 of them are just below the surface of the water is that normal or not?.i only keep cichlids and shovelnose so i realy dont know about barbs behavior..thx in advance...btw those bala shark in there hmmm be careful dude.
You kidding? They're piss easy to look after! Just keep them with some other aggressive ones and they're fine, I got them with my Malawi Cichlids, they live together harmlessley.
get those bala sharks out of there as soon as you can, you are going to severly stunt there growth they can grow to over 1 foot in length and require 100+ gal size tanks, its a common mistake beginners make.
tiger barbs are fin snippers, they like to bite the fins of other fishes.. if you are keeping just tiger barbs, it fine. but do not keep any other timid fish cos tiger barbs will bite off their tails.
SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY!!!! HI I AM PLANNING ON GETTING 5 OR MAYBE SIX TIGER bArbs FOR MY TEN GALLON> WILL THEY BE FINE IN A TEN GALLON FOR THEY're LIFETIME AND WILL THEY BE hAPPY??? BY THE WAY I AM NOT PLAnnING ON PUTTING ANY OTHER FISH IN THE TANK JUST THE BARBS.
Yes, you should be fine. Tiger barbs don't get over 2 inches so with 5 to 6, it should be smooth sailing. If you do decide to put other fish in, tiger barbs are fin nippers so bettas or any other long-finned fish would be unhappy.
yeah, you could do 7-8 tigers in a 10 as long as you leave them space to swim (so don't plant too densely, and not many other, bigger fish). if you're only doing 5-6, make sure you have a few cories or something to clean up the uneaten food, and maybe snails for algae control.
The balas will get as close to their 14" adult size as they can, until they get stunted and die / jump out and die / ram into the walls and either A) break the tank and die or B) give themselves massive brain damage. 180g+ for these guys, take them back and add more cories.
for a 15 gallon tank i can personally recommend either bettas (they are extremely aggressive so read about them first) swordtails, maybe a couple of angelfish or some barbs maybe. it might be a little late but still, just wanted to help.
bettas? aggressive? maybe you should read more. The only time bettas are agressive is to eachother, so long as theres only one male in a tank, they are a great community fish
about a year ago i had a betta together with angelfish 1 day after the betta was chasing the angelfish around like 24 hours a day and about a week later 2 of my angel fish where dead (the smallest ones i had) i would definetly not recommend them for a community tank but i could be wrong, i might just have had a very agressive one
Bettas will be aggressive towards anything with long flowy fins...basically anything that could POSSIBLY be another male betta, and we all know they don't like each other...angelfish are a prime example, not to mention they don't move much so they couldn't escape the betta. Bettas work fine in community tanks if you plan them out. I keep mine with some tetras, danios, and albino cory cats.
remove the neons when the bala matures.
