Talking My 13.5 gallon
Hi this is a bit about my 2ft semi aggressive aquarium and its inhabitants.

Tank:
Eheim Aquastar 60

Tank Size:
24"*12"*12"

Lighting:
1 15w light tube

Fish:
3 Tiger Barbs
5 Albino Tiger Barbs
1 Green Tiger Barb
1 Red Tail Black Shark (RTBS)
1 Synodontis Schoutedeni

These Links are too some videos of the tank:

YouTube - My Shoal Of Tiger Barbs
This one is a bit older:

YouTube - Tiger Barbs Fighting

The tank has now been running for about 3 months and is waiting for its next inhabitant: Bolivian Rams.
I'm keen to hear any thoughts or opinions you have on the tank!

Re: My 13.5 gallon
there are currently 9 of them!!

I have also added:

1 Gold Ram

1 Opaline Gourami

They have been in since Sunday and there has been no fin nipping. Evidently the rule of 6 or more tiger barbs works!

I'm warning you, this probably won't last very long. Opaline gouramis can grow to 13cm/5" in length and it certainly shouldn't be in a 2ft tank...

The fact is, it isn't a good idea to have a 'semi-aggressive community' in a small tank.

this sounds very sensible advice to me.
