The Tiger barb is a semi-aggressive species and they will form a social order. This social order can be extended to include other fish as well. The amount of fish that you keep in your aquarium depends on the size of your aquarium and the size of your fish when they are full grown. Injured fish should be quarantined since the Tiger barbs can attack wounded fish. Fish with large or exceptionally long and flowing fins are not recommended in the same aquarium with Tiger barbs.

The Tiger barb will usually become mature enough to mate when it reaches a length of about 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters long, and this will typically happen when the fish is about seven weeks old. I have successfully mated Tiger barbs.

To determine if Tiger barbs are male or female, the female Tiger barb is larger than the male which has a rounder belly and they have a distinctive red nose, and above the black part of his dorsal (back) fin you can see a red line that is characteristic of the Tiger barb. The dorsal fin of the female is mainly black. In most of the fishworld, the male is usually more colorful than the female.

If you want to breed freshwater Tiger barbs in your aquarium, the best method is to keep a group of Tiger barbs together and let them form their own pairs. They are egglayers. Some fish like black mollies are livebearers. When egglaying fish are ready to spawn, they usually build a bubble or foamy safe place to lay their eggs. Because fish eat their own or other fish eggs, these foamy safeplaces should be in a breeding tank or a seperate tank. Removing the adult fish after spawning is really recommended

Tigers are the largest cat, with a wide range of sizes, depending on subspecies, anywhere from 300 to 700 pounds. The body is heavily muscled, and the teeth and claws are the biggest of any cat. The tiger has black stripes on a rufous or orange background, with some white on belly and face.They are ambush predators, and have been known to kill even elephants on rare occasions.

The question shoud be 'Can a tiger barb live with a slider.' Fish are one of the main diet items of turtles so the barb will eventually become a meal for the turtle. If the turtle is small, he may not be able to eat the fish but he will nip at it and remove fins. Sooner or later the fish disappears.

Will an albino tiger barb fish attack a fighting fish?

Original answer - "i don't know but try this. put a dead fighting fish in a tank that has albino tiger barbs OR tiger barbs and see if the fish attack or eat the dead fish."I have an albino tiger barb, and through my research and experience I can almost guarantee that a fighting fish and an albino tiger barb will absolutely not do. Scientists don't know why tiger barbs have an unusual fin nipping behavior. I emphasize this especially if the fighting fish is the Siamese kind. Long fins+tiger barbs=bad choice. My albino even nipped the other albinos' fins, which proved fatal. Don't take your chances.Sources - "Aquarium and Pondfish", personal experience.

No it will not. However, if there are 3 or more tiger barbs, then they might get the courage to nip at its fins. And i Highly advise you not to keep tiger barbs with goldfish because tiger barbs live in warm water (about 70-85 degrees). and gold fish live in colder water. The tiger barb would ultimately die.
