| Tiger Barbs really should be kept in groups of 5 or 6 . This helps to curb their appetite for fin nipping but may not solve the problem. They really are or can be fin nippers. Silver $'s are also a schooling fish and would prefer to be kept with at least a couple of his own kind. Keep your eye on them. Silver $'s are such a peaceful fish. | |

| Both of those fish are schooling fish, and do best in groups on 5+.
Silver dollars also can get pretty big, so keep that in mind.
These are tropical fish, and goldfish are cold water fish. They cannot be kept together. | |

| I have to ask, do you have the silver $'s in a tank now with the tiger barbs? If so, is there any aggression in the tank? If there is no sign of nipped fins then I wouldn't worry about it right now. Moving your fish would cause more stress IMO  | |

| As long as you removed the nippers (exchanged them) if I'm reading your post correctly, everything should be ok. The nipped fins will grow back. You may want to add some PRIME or Stress Coat or Nova Aqua for stress relief. | |
