I have a 30 gallon tank with about 5 corys, a dwarf gourmani, and 3 guppiys, would it be okay to put in 6 tiger barbs?

what do you have for filtration?

a penguin biowheel 200

i would think you would be alright bio-load wise, but i dont know about putting tiger barbs in with guppys. the barbs might get bored with chasing each other and be tempted to taste the guppy fins.

No, I wouldn't Tiger Barbs are fin-nippers and active fish. Guppies are slow moving and have long tails.........same for the Gourmai.

aww alright thanks for the input

Here's a link below of peaceful community fish. Maybe some Tetras?

yeah i'm with the others, tiger barbs are too aggressive and fast for your guppies. tetras might work but they are fin nippers as well so that's something to keep an eye out for

is it okay to mix tiger barbs and red tail sharks together?

hmm, they would probably be alright but youd need a pretty big tank and i wouldnt put anything else in there unless it can really hold its own
