Z0rn’s Tiger Barb Tank

[Z0RN92]

My 36 gallon tiger barb tank newly set up. Any suggestions to the aquascape or stocking welcome. Currently houses 5 tiger barbs. Tank is a 36 gallon bowfront

I would add a few more barbs. I usually like 8-10 tiger barbs. Quite fun to watch! Tank looks rather nice

I definitely will thanks

I would definitely put more java fern and get about 5 more tiger barbs, and get a red tailed black shark, I have kept red tailed black sharks with barbs before and they even chase the barbs around so you don’t have to worry that barbs will rip apart the red tailed black shark.

I was thinking Cory cats. I think a red tailed shark would get too big for a 36 gallon?

I agree. Cories could work, but I reccomend kuhlies. A little less noticeable so if you have an aggressive batch of barbs they more likely to stay out of harms way in comparison to cories...

The water is so clear that I thought your tank was empty!

Yeah, khulI loaches are pretty cool. Maybe I’ll do that instead. How many tiger barbs could I fit in that tank?

Also any suggestions on plants I should put in there? Just leave it java fern only, or maybe some jungle Val in the left corner?
