First tank troubles
I am a first time tank owner and wanted/needed to start small. It's rare that I come across a larger sum of money, so I got myself a 10 gallon tank that was on sale for the month at a local pet store. It's decorated with blue gravel, a few fake plants, a tree looking thing, a fake anemone, and some rocks and marbles.
I first started off with one blue gourami, one red glass barb, and one red tailed shark.
Then I bought two more red glass barbs.
Shortly after, I noticed my blue gourami attacking my shark. I tried to separate them but to no avail. The shark died, and I took the gourami back to the pet store.
I now have three red glass barbs and two tiger barbs. Is this a bad idea? The three red barbs are peaceful and friendly, but it's the tigers I'm worried about. So far, everything seems okay. A little chasing from both fish, but that's all. They are still quite small, maybe 3/4ths of an inch long. Will chasing and fin nipping soon become a problem? I hope not...
