OK I find this funny I hope you do to. I have nine tiger barbs. i feed them baby shrimp twice a week. Apparently they love the stuff I got it originally for my gouramis because I was told that it would be good for them but they seem to have no idea what to do with the baby shrimp they just touch it with their feelers. but anyways getting back to my barbs. I drop a couple in its like a hilarious feeding frenzy. They jump around and attack the shrimp, I've never seen fish do that before. its like a fish mob. and if i didn't get enough in for all off them the one with out chases the others that have the shrimp in their mouths. Anyways just wanted to throw that out there apparently tiger babs love baby shrimp or at least mine do

Agree, haha tiger barbs are really cool fish its a shame my school of them lasted less then 12hrs as soon as i put them in my tank they attacked my other fish and were separated within 1 hour and returned to the LFS the next day where i was told that they would be fine with my other peaceful fish, they sure were wrong although on a brighter side another LFS told me when i was looking at their tiger barbs that they are nippers which is good to see a honest LFS for a change.
