Tiger Barbs are a large type of tetra which means it is a schooling fish and they do better if you have more than one.They can grow to be two inchs long and have orange and black stripes it also has a small black spot in between its last stripes.They do best in small schools and like plants live and fake they can bite other fishs tails but are pretty good in large tanks with other fish in them.

What should you do when the tiger barbs in the tank are starting to nip at the angelfish?

Tiger Barbs should ideally not be kept with angelfish, as they are slow moving and long finned - and therefore tempting to nip at. This can cause great stress to the angelfish, so the tiger barbs should be moved to a separate tank if possible. Alternatively, if the first option is not possible, a constant food supply should be maintained to give the barbs something else to do and distract them from fin-nipping.
