Would different types school together?

I know my bf wants Tiger barbs, but after seeing the albino and green ones.. I don't think he knows which he would want. If he got say.. 6 of them.. 2 regular tigers, 2 albino and 2 green.... would they school together?
Just curious

I believe they would. They are really the same fish, just with different colors.

Re: Would different types school together?

Hi Shollia,

I have 6 Barbs, 1 tiger, 3 albiino and 2 of another and they all school together quite happily. The tiger barb doesn't appear to school as much with the rest and im not sure if thats the breed or just him, but he still joins the group every now and again. I am considering buying a couple more tigers just to keep him happy. Hope that helps.

Cheers

Errol

Most barbs and tetras of the same shape will school together.
