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.

What should you do when your tiger barbs are starting to nip at your angelfish?

try getting more tiger barbs to keep the other ones company as when they are in large groups of maybe six or seven they are less likely to become troublesome in the tank, if this doesn't work you will have to remove the angelfish or the barbs
