No, tiger barbs are aggressive fin nippers.
Tiger barbs are tropical fish and are cold blooded.
Tiger barbs originate in parts of southeast Asia, including Borneo and Sumatra.
Yes, tiger barbs and tetras can coexist in the same aquarium, but it is important to provide enough space and hiding spots to prevent aggression from the tiger barbs.
It depends how old they are. Tiger barbs will eat young guppy fry. Tiger barbs will attack adult guppies if the water is overcrowded. However, they won't eat adult guppies.
Yes they are.
Yes. Barbs can and will eat their own eggs, as they have no parental instinct towards their eggs or fry. Barbs will generaly eat all of their eggs as soon as they are released, and then eat remaining fry once the eggs have hatched. For this reason, if you plan on bredding tiger barbs, you should place the female and a male in a breeding tank and remove them both as soon as the eggs are laid.
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.
yes
Cherry barbs and tiger barbs can potentially coexist in the same aquarium, but caution is needed. Tiger barbs are known for their nippy behavior and can be aggressive, especially in smaller groups. Ensuring a spacious tank and keeping both species in larger schools can help mitigate aggression. It's best to monitor their interactions closely to ensure a peaceful environment.
It's generally not advisable to keep hermit crabs with tiger barbs. Tiger barbs are active, sometimes aggressive fish that may stress or harm the hermit crab. Additionally, hermit crabs require brackish or marine environments, while tiger barbs thrive in freshwater, making their habitat needs incompatible. For the well-being of both species, it's best to keep them in separate environments.
