For a pump to be of any use to you or the fish it needs to be attached to a filter. Bubbles will do virtually no good at all. The basic rules for keeping fish are:- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules and keep your Barbs at around 75F to 78F and feed them good food twice daily they stand a reasonable chance of survival. If you fail in any of the above I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick.

Can you have one of each types of Tiger Barbs together?

The Tiger Barb is a schooling fish, and needs at least five to seven other Tiger Barbs to be comfortable with, and to behave normally. They are usually fish that will develop a pecking order, and need plenty in their own school to do so. If not, they have a tendency to fin nip other slower species, so it's best to keep at least five together. More would not be harmful if you had the room. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

How many tiger barbs do you have to keep in you tank?

In the wild, fish tend to nibble all day but depending on species, morning and evening are most Barbs main feeding times. Young, growing fish need to be fed several times daily to grow quickly into healthy adults. The way I feed my fish is to add a small amount of food and if the fish eat it all in less than 15 minutes I add more. I do this several times a day. (at least morning and evening)
