Cherry Barbs and Tiger Barbs

samuelm5 · April 27th, 2009

Hi, I got 5 cherry barbs in my tank that have been in there for almost a week now and am thinking of putting some Tiger barbs in. Is that a possible compatibility?

if there aren't any other fish in the tank yet, then you can definitely fit a school of tiger barbs, i'd say at least six to prevent them from nipping the cherry barbs.
