I'd keep an eye on it for sure. I had serpae tetra that nipped one of my silver dollars tail fin down to the nub!

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.

thanks guys...but wat should i docan i keep them with my gold fish

mr. Clown Loach

heck no don't put him i with your goldfish. i have a loner tiger barb in my tank and he does fine with my two silver dollars

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 wouldnt keep them 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

11yancazosj

i agree. and wat does IMO mean

mr. Clown Loach

in my opinion (IMO)

11yancazosj

thankyou

11yancazosj

i hope your sivle dollars are ok

md_mohammad

yes i hv them in my tank n there is nippin goin on...(

md_mohammad

wat do i do to retain there fins...n i hv gexchanged my tiger barbs 4 loachers

aquarist48

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.

11yancazosj

i think that was a capital decision

11yancazosj

how have your loaches been going.

md_mohammad
