Friends for Tin foil barbs ++++

[jimmy chonga]

My friends has one of my old tanks, a 55gallon. in it are three fully grown tin foil barbs, one 4 inch royal, and two tetras (a congo and a penguin me thinks)

suggest some simple tank mates that will add some colour and action to the tank.....

she likes the colours green and blue, i'm thinking some brochis cats for the bottom and maybe some gouramies?

help me out guys

thanks :dumb:

red headed severum??

[jimmy chonga]

hmm, thats an option

I think the severum will grow too big to be house with some of those fish. I could become aggressive towards them. Gouramies would be good. You can get nice blue or red ones or even blue and red ones LOL

Before your friend adds any fish to this tank she should read a bit more about her tinfoil barbs. The tank is far too undersized for a fish that is full grown at 14". To think that she has 3 in such a small tank and now wants to add more is senseless.

maybe they are a different species, but these guys are fully grown and they're about 6 inches from tip to tail. the tank it's overpopulated by any means
