-
Diet: Provide a varied diet, including high-quality flake or pellet foods, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms, and occasional vegetables.
-
Tank Size: A 20-gallon tank or larger is suitable for a group of tiger barbs, as they are active and prefer ample space.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a pH of 6.5-7.5, a temperature of 75-82°F (24-28°C), and good water quality through proper filtration.
-
Compatibility: Tiger barbs can be nippy and fin nippers, so it's best to keep them in groups of six or more to disperse aggression. Avoid keeping them with slow-moving or long-finned fish.
-
Tank Decor: Provide hiding spots and decorations but ensure open swimming areas. Tiger barbs enjoy playing and darting through planted areas.
