Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Compatibility Question

On my new tank will Rasbora's and Tiger Barbs cohabitate successfully?

Thanks

Tigers can be a bit nippy I have found but with a big enough group they usually chase each other instead of the other members of the tank.
The one I would worry about is the sword tail. They would be sorely tempted to nip with those swords sticking out.
I would suggest you keep more than one swordtail though.

The Rasboras and the Tiger Barbs would be in a different tank.

As for the Sword I had a pair and he died (1 of only 2 I have lost other than suicide jumpers). I feel I am fully stocked if not a little over, and do not think adding another 3 inches is a good idea and she seems happy as a bachlorette

I've never been able to keep tigers with anything (long term) except a crayfish. I've done big schools, small school, big tanks, small tanks - doesn't matter. That's just been my experience. Others can keep tigers with other tank mates.
