I've had two male Bettas I tried to introduce in a community tank. The first one became a territorial, ever flaring jerk when I moved him to a 55 gallon. I got him an 8 gallon and just a few guppy friends and he lived out a happy life. I just got a new Betta and he appears to be doing just fine in a large tank. I love Bettas and it's worth the risk to include them in a community tank as long as you have a plan B

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I agree. I love them for community tanks and it’s such a wildcard. But they are such pretty little divas. What’s a environment without one toxic member 💀 😂

[@susanstaples6171]

@@AquariumStoreDepot I've had three Bettas and each one was completely different, completely stunning and as close to a "water puppy" as I'll ever get. They all learned to swim to the top of the tank and blow bubbles every time I say hello, whether there is food or not. Such amazing animals!

[@DerWegNachDeutschland1]

Tiger barbs really are deceiving! Those beautiful orange stripes make them look perfect for any tank, but their fin-nipping habit can cause quite a bit of chaos. Thanks for the detailed breakdown on managing their aggression-keeping them in larger schools sounds like a great tip!

[@marchean83]

And they do it while you're not watching for real😁

[@motherlandbot6837]

Those beautiful colors and patterns are aposematic. Konrad Lorenz wrote during the earlier part of the last century that he purchased a group of Tiger Barbs because he wondered why they "looked so poisonous"; in his care, they mobbed larger cichlid fishes so persistently that he was forced to separate them. Unfortunately, most people react to animals on an almost entirely emotional level; "fish so pretty, me buy pretty fish".

[@solarisveritatis1086]

I made the disastrously wrongful decision to buy 4 algae eaters and 2 plecos when my tank got dyed green with algae. Initially they kinda did their job, but then they start to destroy my plants as well. The fragile cabomba was torn to shred, some smaller plants got their leaves nibbed here and there, and the worst is the uprooting. I had to walk by my tank, found some uprooted plants floating on top, and had to really reach down to my almost 1 meter deep tank to replant them, three times *everyday*. Removing the algae eaters was also a nightmare. They are almost impossible to catch with a nest, and my tank is somewhat heavily planted too. In the end I had to buy a mini eel trap to get them.

That's the first I've heard of those being different. I always just avoided tiger-esque barbs, assuming they all behaved the same. They don't quite have that shape and color that makes tiger barbs so appealing to me, though. Their feistiness is also part of that appeal. I love those little boogers. I just wish they would play nice and give it a rest, but they're just relentless.

My wife keeps tiger barbs with dwarf mbuna cichlids, which seems to work. So I guess the secret is to keep them with fish even meaner than they are. The tiger barbs are bullied by the male cichlid, so they can't develop much attitude.

Tiger barbs have always been my favourite fish. I find the best way to keep them in a mixed community is with a community of different barb species, as most barbs are as equally feisty. They all eventually get to know their place in the pecking order then settle down peacefully.

[@jeffalbillar7625]

I have 12 Tiger Barbs and 12 Black Ruby Barbs. The tiger barbs ate my plants and the Black Ruby Barbs spend the day chasing each other and the Tiger Barbs. It's funny because the Ruby Barbs are smaller than the Tigers, but the Ruby's don't care. It kills me that the Tigers are my plants

[@alan_mythicalgnome]

@jeffalbillar7625 Yes, I've kept black ruby barbs with them. Also Odessa, Rosey and snake skin barbs. They all chased but it's not aggressive. The best plants with barbs are Cryptcorynes , Java ferns and amazon swords that are tough enough not to be eaten.

@@AquariumStoreDepot I housed (90 gallon tank) 2 Angelfish, Cory Catfish, and Bluespotted Sunfish (North American Native) together. I set up the topography of the tank with a rock wall running back to front in the center, with two bubbler walls in front of the wall to basically split the tank in half. This really helped in keeping the Angelfish on one half, and the sunfish on the other. In addition I put a lot of vertically oriented terrain (tall plants) on the Angelfish side, and more horizontal stuff (log-like stuff) on the sunfish side. Occasionally someone would cross the boundary, but it was short lived and minimal aggression.

Best alternative for giant danios is Bengal danio . I've 6 of them and they are 5 inches long . They are shimmery , shinny and robust. These fishes always stay at the bottom of the tank , moving constantly in high speed. I've 6 boesemani rainbow fishes , 8 angels and 4 severums, 6 electric blue acara in the same tank along with the Bengal danios . I've no problem at all with agression. Only problem is acaras get to eat less as they are shy and slow . Rainbow fishes and danios move around as a shoal . I recommend others personally to have some Bengal danios with Angels or Severums . That is my own experience.

I agree with just about all of these. I would add any danios to that list, they all seem to be way hyperactive and always caused problems in my tanks. Never had nippy serpae tetras, they haven't presented any problems, they spar a lot but never nipped even my angelfish. Buenos Aires tetras were very nippy in my tanks and nibbled plants, they are almost like smaller versions of silver dollars and also super active and disruptive if you like a quiet tank. Gouramis, rainbow sharks, redtailed sharks are all a crap shoot, I've kept gold gouramis, rainbow and redtails that were big babies but others were ferocious. Pearl Gouramis, Honey Gouramis and Thick Lipped Gouramis are a good choice. Just about all barbs will nip, Cherry, Black Ruby and Gold barbs are least likely but still caught them nipping.

The first, a blue veiltail was a gentleman who was chill with his tank mates...the red veiltail after the blue died was a different story. I brought the red betta home with six serpae tetras that were on sale.

I used to have a guppy tank, before I moved, and it didn't take long for 6 fish (2 males, 4 females), to become around 50 or so in a 10 gallon tank. 🤣 That said, I switched over from silk to live plants and everyone did fine. I even had a pair of cories in there too. Despite the antics of my very frisky males 😉 aside from the initial flood of 30-ish babies, their population was pretty stable. Every so often I would find a single fry or two. The live plants also cured my algae issues. I rarely did water changes too. Hitchhiking snails and my cories kept things clean. If you had males only, you could keep them with a similar temperament community fish, but I think you're better off keeping guppies by themselves. I'm new to your channel, but maybe a video on single species tanks would be helpful to new fish keepers. (I need to check out what you have still, & if you have a single species tank video; awesomeness!!)
