Thinking of stocking my new tank (60 G) with Barbs. How big will they get for one. Two do they get along with Cories as I love the Cory Cats.

Do all Barbs cohabit well?

This is my second tank but I have been fishing for only 7 months. Have to say I am addicted. I am already considering a 3rd tank.

Thanks as always the Fishlore community is soooooo helpful and has made this hobby alot more fun due to the reduction of mistakes.

1. Tiger Barbs grow to about 3" long
2. Yes, they are both compatible
3. Most barbs do, depending on the size and/or temperment
4. Been there
5. Thats what this site is all about

if you want to add anything more to the tank, i suggest adding the barbs last to avoid any territorial conflicts. Good luck!
