Hi guys and girls
I was just wondering which type of tiger barb is everyones favourite, im planning on getting a group of around 6-8 for my 45G and i cant decide between the following three:

Amanda

I think a mix of the three would be cool looking!

I like the look of a regular tiger barb because of the red fins.

I like the mossy (green) tiger barbs

Bad Wolf

me too, i like the green ones, i only have 1 ATM. why not go with a mix of green and common tiger barbs?

TFA101

I've done that before ^^

my recommendations for a mix is high.

Do it!

I like the regular tiger barb most. I find the stripes and a little red very striking.

I like the regular tiger barb way more. It just looks so darn cool. If I had any extra room to have another tank, I would have a pure tiger barb tank.

regular tiger barbs! our first and so far only tank is tiger barbs only with 12. they are very entertaining, especially when feeding.

Why no rosy barbs? I think they look cool too. I had 3 of each, rosy, regular and green in my FW tank. Spunky lil fish!

Rosey barbs are different than tiger barbs.

I don't like to mix color morphs in the same tank, but that's just my taste. I have a school of 13 regulars in a species tank.
