in my tiger barb keeping experience things that can mix pretty well are angle fish surprisingly, other barbs, catfish, plecos or other bottom dwellers like snails, and most bigger non-schooling non-agressive fish. One to never put with them are mollys, minnows, or shrimp.
I have a 55 gallon community tank with 50% barbs (different sub species half tiger barbs). Also in the tank 3 different types of smaller cichlids, mollies, platties, swords, snails, loaches, plecos. Its a planted tank so lots of hiding space. Also its temporary as i cycle my 125 gallon. I also am keeping 2 painted turtle hatchlings in the same tank for a month. No issues other than territory for a cichlid that laid eggs. I think the plant life helps a ton and the tiger barbs are actually more chill and less nippy when theyre in a larger school
i hate to say it but the neon tetra are so hard to keep alive, i never had luck with these guys. i have a bunch of: yoyo loach, kubotai loach, tiger barbs, cory panda and a giant pleco, they all seem to live happily.
Dude, in a 75 gallon tank? Of course they'll be fine. When I first got into this hobby 30 years ago there was no RUclips and everything went off of word of mouth, nobody talked about fish. I had like 20 Tiger Barbs in a 10 gallon tank and they were perfectly fine for years while I was upgrading my tanks, I don't do that anymore because now I know they get stressed and whatnot... But come on dude, with a 75 gallon tank you can load that sucker up with tetras and barbs and everything will be fine regardless of what they say on the internet
I've had one rainbow shark and 5 barbs in a 20 gallon tank and I believe the barbs killed the shark. Do you know why that would have happened when the rainbow shark has a log to stay in at the bottom of the tank
whoever told you that combination in that tank size was a good idea is at fault, rainbow sharks dont do well with other fish in anything less than 55g once they get older, and tiger barbs are similarly bad in small quarters, it was properly a death match between two species unable to have enough space. also even in a bigger tank I would have done more barbs to reduce aggression on both sides.
@tdannyV2 Thanks for the information and I'm getting g a larger tank before I try that again. I think tiger barbs look dope that's why I want some and they don't hide like the rainbow sharks but I still want both lol
Tiger barb and tinfoil barb aint tank mate.. i witness myself by putting them the tiger and tinfoil barb together in there 6+ group and the tinfoil barb still attack the tiger barb and kill them
I have tiger barb and tinfoil barb also yellow lab in my tank nothing such has happened this can happen if the tank space is less and always keep a emergency tank if you try something like this but the fish you put need to be small size so that they grow up together and tiger barb in lager group!
@@Joe85IBMOR not really tiger barb character is such it nips fins yes if the fish is bigger and doesn't have lazy character and fin are smaller they avoid and like Betta in small fish should be avoided which has huge fins and tail .

Best video about this misunderstood species I have seen in a long time!
FYI, the bubble noise really takes away from the video. Seems like it always pops up at the wrong time and we miss what you are saying.

Tiger barbs are FIN NIPPERS.
Terimakasih, video anda sangat bagus, saya suka Tiger Barb/ Sumatera Barb.

I've been keeping tropical fish for 60+ years and I see most tigers as too aggressive for a community tank.
Good
Pictus Cats made the list! Woo hoo! Think I gotta try that…

Im not really sure if neon and ember tetras or any small short bodied tetras would be compatible at all. I saw all tiger barbs ganging up on them
I got neons with my tigers and green tigers. I think they do great.
I have neon tetra with a tiger barb and green tiger barb they're quite ok and the tetra is more active honestly
Good video
I kept a glass pop bottle and some stainless steel spoons with my tiger barbs. The spoons did ok.
Love the video 🙌🏼 just subscribed
Escelente
can we mix Serpae tetra with tiger barb
I'm looking to make a tank with 6 or 8 barbs a small red rail shark or rainbow shark and a clown pleco
What about tiger barbs and rummy nose tetras? Both in groups of 20 or more in a planted 75 gallon

Update??How are they all doing together now?Any aggression
I had them with Indian glass fish and they got along
Black tetras too

I am saving up for a massive tank to have a huge school of both xD@@SMACKLIKEDAT
I have a gourami and a golden zebra loach and I’m planning on bringing some tiger barbs how many should I add?
No Barbs at all they will destroy your Gourami

@@Rockstar_1996 so they won't bother my tilapias because they don't have long fins
When she said you can have rams as tank mates with barbs she lost all credibility with me.
But my tiger barbs are killing my mollies
I keep mine alone in a group of 11. They should really have their own tank
