One more silver dollar fish or more tiger barbs?

Posted by dodatki | Posted in Fish | Posted on 24-01-2010

just a thought asked:


I have 1 Silver Dollar fish; 3 tiger barbs; 2 Kribensis Cichlids and a crayfish in a 47 gallon tank. I just added the Silver Dollar yesterday and the 3 Tigers are aggravating it! The tank is fairly new so these fish are less than a month in adjusting. Will all be well eventually or should I get another Silver Dollar or 2-3 more Tiger Barbs? Thanks!
Update: End of day 2 for the Silver Doller and all seems well in the tank. Barbs have quieted down and keeping their activities to themselves!

What are some good ways to feed albino tiger barbs?

Posted by dodatki | Posted in Fish | Posted on 02-01-2010


My albino tiger barb stays in a special area in my aquarium and he doesnt see the food sometimes. He misses out on food and i sometimes have to add more food into the water. If he is not in the special area that he stays at then he gets some of the food. But it sometimes worries me that he is not getting his proper nutrition. I really worry about my fish alot because I am a fish maniac myself.Submited by:Wyman

How long can I keep a very small tiger oscar in a 10 gallon?

Posted by dodatki | Posted in Fish | Posted on 30-11-2009

dazed asked:


I just bought a red tiger oscar that’s an inch and a half. I was wondering how long people recommend that I can keep him in a 10 gallon. I have a 50 gallon that he/she will eventually move into. At what point in time will it cause it harm/stunted growth? It’s the only fish in the tank. I briefly asked a vet and they said it perfectly fine to have it in a 10 gallon with water change; right food; good filtration, etc. But forgot to ask at want point should it be moved to a larger tank. Thanks for your help.
I bought it petsmart; they said a 30 would be fine.
