Thanks for accepting me. I'm not new to fish keeping but I'm new to rosy barbs.
I've had cichlids for over 10 years and recently decided to embark on some new (and less violent).
For the moment I have a group of 9 small (1.5-2 inch) rosy barbs in a 40 gallon long (4 foot).
Their only tank mates are 5 mystery snails for the moment. I think I'll let them grow out a bit and maybe do some planting before I decide if or what else I'll put in there. I kinda like species tanks.
So anyway I have 7 females and only 2 males. The males fight quite a bit.
Would you guys recommend a few more males to disperse the battles or are they pretty harmless?
