Tiger Barbs
I have had ten of these fish since December 23, 1997. Six Green Tiger Barbs and four as the ones pictured above(I got the "original" ones sometime in January 1998). I have only one now (named Chum).
Now for the care of these fish.
pH: 6.5----- dH: to 12 degrees----- Temperature: 70-77 degrees Farenheit----- Foods: live foods like bloodworms and freeze-dried Tubifex-worms(note: like all fish don't feed them live Tubifex- worms as these worms can give diseases to your fish. Feed them FREEZE-DRIED Tubifex-worms instead.), flake foods, and vegetable matter (this includes clean lettuce or other clean vegetables).
Cherry Barbs
(a male Cherry Barb is pictured above)
These fish are shy so keep the tank well- planted with live or plastic plants but of course, all fish need good swimming areas, so don't plant the tank too much.
Care for these fish are as listed below.
pH: 6.0-7.5----- dH: to 18 degrees----- Temperature: 72-79 degrees Farenheit----- Foods: small frozen foods, small live foods, and flakes.
Golden Barbs
(my female Golden Barb named Fatty is pictured above)
These fishes are especially sensitive to unaged water, so keep the water conditions are to be soft, slighty acidic, and aged.
I have three (two males and a female) Golden Barbs. Six were bought for me when I had ten Tiger Barbs. The Tiger Barbs killed two of the young Golden Barbs, and gave the rest to my friends who kept fish as well. One of the Golden Barbs overnight at my friend's house, but the other three were fine, but then they attacked my friend's Siamese Fighting Fish (or Betta)! I got the three and now they're on the internet (note: the two males' names are mentioned on the front page and in the picture gallery.)!
Did you know that the Golden Barb is a actually a morph of the Green Barb?
Now for the care
of these fish besides the note mentioned above... pH: slightly
acidic----- dH: soft----- Temperature: (I don't know!)-----
Foods: any type of food These are nice
fish but also big. They are 13 inches long. They live on the bottom
and middle levels of the tank. Their difficulty of keeping is
3-4. Care is: pH: 6.0-
7.5----- dH: to 18 degrees----- Temperature: 70- 77 degrees
Farenheit----- Foods: live foods, vegetable matter, pellets, and
flakes. Note: they may eat small tankmates in the aquarium. Make
sure the other fish in the tank are a reasonable size. These fish are
pretty ones which occupy the middle level of the tank. These fish
can be frightened in a brightly- lighted tank so keep floating
plants on the top (ask your local pet shop owner about live and
plastic plants.) of the water. Care for these
fish: pH: around 7
degrees (which is neutral)----- dH: soft (note: it's best to have
old aquarium water and change it regularly.)----- Temperature:
72- 79 degrees Farenheit in the summer then change it to 68- 72
degrees in the winter time. ----- Foods: All fish foods,
vegetable matter as well as flakes. Bibliography Riehl, Rudiger, Dr. and Baensch, Hans A. Aquarium Atlas Shelburne: Microcosm Ltd., 1997 (first paperback edition).
