SG Bearded Aquarist Ok friend and I will be waiting for you with new clip from you

yesterday bought 12 tiger barb. for RM7.5

after watching your video i bought tiger barb yes they freaking cheap IDR 10000 for 8 equal to 8 tiger barb for 1sgd i bought 16 of them for 2sgd

Hi Can I ask you a question about tiger barbs. Can I keep Albino tiger barbs together with normal ones.

@@normanlim1214 yeap you can

I'm all about breaking "rules" ;)

It’s so crazy now every fish has its own personality

This is AWESOME! We have a red eared slider and just added 5 tiger barbs. Please keep sharing

Yeah thats...

Seen it heaps (minus the flowerhorn)

😊😊

what size tank do you have?

I have 25 in a 50 gallon. A bit overstocked but my filter is rated for a 75-90 gallon, and so far no problems. Super active fish. I recently dropped in some boiled mussel flesh and they attacked it like piranhas

@@jigokutsuushin they're definitely like mini piranhas, very cool to watch

Thank you! And yes it wasnt easy to get them to cohab but its very rewarding!

How about a turtle?

They still excite to this day. Their feeding and schooling behavior is just so fun to watch

Thanks James!! Tiger barbs are the way to go!! And its my pleasure. Your tiger barb tank is legit my favourite!!!

Your tanks looking great buddy really nice scape, nice to see someone not afraid to try something different! The turtle is awesome 🙂

Thank you raja! Yeah its crazy how much his kok is growing everyday!! Its even bigger now 😁

Thank you! Wasn't easy learning how to get my turtle to live w fishes! 😁

Thank you!! Feeling like rescaping it 🤔

Thank you. Keep it at. It's a very steep learning curve :)

Thank you for the kind words! 😁

Thank you for the kind words 😁

Oh yeah! When the loaches and barbs school together... most amazing sight ever.

Thanks Joel! 😁

Oh yeah! Tiger barb lovers unite! 😁

Snuggletummy Lol they were my first fishes so I can agree

Thank you Rahul! Happy to find others who love tiger barbs as much as I do. And yeah, they definitely aren't as bad as their reputation have them. I love them so much its my dream to get to see their natural habitat in Indonesia one day. Maybe even spot them in the wild.

@@SGBeardedAquarist man you replied!! Great ! I never thought you'll reply as most of the KZfaqrs don't ..that's very humble I watched many of your videos and I loved them especially that Asian arowana series! You doing a great job keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words man! I love getting to know other hobbyist. :) and yes more Arowana (and so many other) content lined up!

Thanks Dillon - tiger barbs are the best!

What are you other favourites? :)

SG Bearded Aquarist I also like bichirs and mostly monster fishes or fishes that are aggressive.

Yes it's crazy! Thanks for following my journey 😁

Thank you! You won't regret adding them in. What else is in the 125 currently/in the future?

@@SGBeardedAquarist I have 2 silver dollars (they are BIG), 3 Honey Gouramis, 2 Blue Gouramis, a King Tiger Pleco, a long fin Bristlenose pleco, 5 Ancistrus Plecos, 2 Striped Raphael catfish, 3 Clown Loaches, and one common Pleco named Percy. Percy is the sole reason I upgraded to this 125 gallon. I have returned several common plecos to the LFS when they outgrew my 55 gallon tank, but for some crazy reason I got really attached to Percy! I just couldn't let him go!!! He's almost 10" now. As I'm writing this, it sounds like a lot of fish, but most are bottom dwellers (I'm a pleco/catfish junkie!!!!!) and I recently moved my Angel fish to another tank. They were the only ones preventing me from being able to add Tiger Barbs. How many do you think I can add? I'm wanting to have around 40. Of course, I'll only add them 10 at a time.

Yeah 40 sounds like the minimum ill go with in the 125. I dont see an issue with adding all at one go, just wouldnt do any big feeding in the following few days. 10 a time works too and is of course a much safer way. That sounds like a really nice tank you have there. Would love to see it. If you're on instagram send me a video/photo! (@sgbearded_aquarist)

@@SGBeardedAquarist I'm not on Instagram. I guess there's no a way to share a photo here?

Nice! How long have they been living together? And what size is your xb? No casulties so far?

@@SGBeardedAquarist couple of months. No casualty so far. XB is abt 14-15 inch. Just bought 10 more normal tiger barbs and the jade green ones. Shall upload a video on my channel soon.

I'll be looking out for it!

I want to know this answer too! I have a slider and will be putting him in a 55 gal and want to add fish. By the way, do you like the filter?

Thanks bro! 😁

Yes , it is a great video . Your tiger barbs are healthy and lovely . You mentioned that you treated them with medication when they had white spots / ich . What medication did you use ? My 15 tiger barbs too was infected with ich , 5 died . What are the causes of ich ? Thank you for your sharing and advice .

Thank you! Yes tiger barbs look amazing!!

Yeah sounds like your fish are pretty happy hence they don't school!

What collab are you thinking of? Where are you from?

about our hobby, but im too far haha, im from the philippines bro.

Thanks bro! 😁

Me too. I had to limit myself to 5 reasons and you've no idea how much I had to edit out because i was just rambling on and on about them. And OF COURSE I RMB YOU. Been here since I was 40+ subs. ;)

Thank you! Updates are always coming :)

I usually leave them as they are. Nipping isn't much of an issue with my school so the nipped barb will just heal in there no problem.

Which is you favourite variation of the tiger barb?

Good question it’s between the black ruby or the snake skin, what’s your favourite?

Tough one man. I think the red and green tiger barbs look out of this world but I really cant do without the classic normal 🤣

SG Bearded it is a difficult question, there all nice really l, very nice, yeah can never go wrong with the classic tiger 🤣 a classic always makes my tank too lol

Very interesting. Which large fishes did you find dead and how many? Did you buy back the same fishes again?

SG Bearded Aquarist I found that all of my plecos had been chewed on to where their fins were almost gone. Three of them died. All were over 8" long. The rest, of the plecos, after a couple of years still have messed up fins and scars. I lost 7- 3"-4" angels. 5 blue guoramis. All my fancy goldfish. After returning the tiger barbs back to the store, I've had no more fish come up missing or chewed on. They were pretty, and they were reproducing in my lagoon. Unfortunately, there are enough plants and hidey holes I didn't actually see the attacks until many had died. I'm starting a new lagoon on the order of 56,000 gallons. Would love to have someone to discuss it with. It will be in Nicaragua on a peninsula into a fresh water lake full of native chiclids and a green spotted pleco.

SG Bearded Aquarist I failed to answer your question. I did buy several rounds of angels before I knew what was happening. They all died pretty much immediately. I'd find their bones in the lagoon. But my rosy barbs and rummy nose barbs, and swordtails were reproducing so fast, I didn't go buy other fish. I like watching them school.

I thought so at first but later found out its actually a short bodied pink convict cichlid. At least thats the consensus. Goes by the common name Jellybean Convict!

I've seen videos online w tiger barbs and piranhas (not big one yet) living together. I think itll be a really cool display to have a small school of big piranhas living together with a huge school of tiger barbs

I know right! Such an awesome fish

Muahahaha!!
