How I Keep And Breed Tiger Barbs

A simple approach to keeping and breeding tiger barbs in a single species tiger barb tank, with information about tank mates, tiger barb eggs, and raising their babies. I go over my tiger barb tank setup and general tiger barb care. I also include a chart with tiger barb water parameters such as temperature, pH, and water hardness. I also follow the development of their fry from birth to sexual maturity, with a look at my tiger barb egg nursery.
There's also a warning about keeping tiger barbs in a community tank.

Dave, as always you have done a great job filling this video. As a person who loves aquarium flora and fauna, I appreciate your efforts and time in creating such wonderful content. During my student time, I have been working as an aquatic specialist in a zoo shop chain in Minsk, Belarus. That's why I know difficult to find balance in the process of breeding fish and creating a comfortable environment for them because I visited a lot of fish suppliers and saw how they treat fish - unfortunately for most of them it's just a business. For me, it was a pleasure to hear from my customers - that they somehow managed to breed fish in their tanks (in most cases it was not on purpose). I always took fish and plants from my constant customers, though it was illegal, so-called black market 😁 Because I knew they treat fish with love

[@incominghitdadirt9587]

I love my plants as much as my aquatic pets. Unfortunately some of my fish like my plants more cause they will pick apart certain ones.

[@TheDave333]

Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment. Yes, unfortunately for many businesses it's all about profit, and rarely about the health and well-being of the fish. However, just as it is in nature, there always needs to be a balance between the two. Have a beautiful day my friend. 🐟🦐🦠

When something startles them, they swim a bit away, then turn around to check out what it was. Wonderful fish for pets. With the way they eat in such a frenzy, I call them my little piranhas.

How many Tiger Barbs do you suggest for a 55 gallon planted tank? I plan on removing the current stock of giant danios for tiger barb species only tank. Can I add them all at once or build the school slowly?

[@TheDave333]

It's best to add them all at once, and it also helps to have them all about the same age/size. How many you can have will depend on your filtration, number and type of plants, as well as how heavily you feed. With proper maintenance, I'd say you could get away with 30 tiger barbs in a 55 G. Be sure to check your water parameters frequently to be sure that nitrite / nitrate levels don't spike.

Much of what you can, or can't do, in this hobby depends on your degree of experience, time, and level of commitment. The filtration, water change schedule, and feeding regimen will also be important factors for success. I fully expected a lot of people to say, "that's too many tiger barbs in that tank!"

Thank you for watching the video. You make a very good point. White text would have been a much better choice. . . I'm not sure what the exact color is, and I'm away from the studio at the moment. It looks like a blood red. . . It was originally meant to be placed over tiger barb footage, so I needed something that stood out against the background. I should have changed it. . . Much Love From Massachusetts in North America. 😊

You pronounced Sussswassertang correctly.

Thank you, most people throw the "German B' in there. :-)

What do you call a fish with quills on its back. A quillback, of course! Get it?

[@TheDave333]

Yes, I know the quillback, but you forgot about the porcupine fish. . .

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

@@TheDave333 I caught a quillback back in 2015 while fishing for shad.

[@TheDave333]

Nice. I caught a shad near a fish ladder once, and when I hooked it, it started to climb up the fish ladder!

@@TheDave333 I just wondered, why u use the german Word.

[@TheDave333]

I think the German version is subwassertang with a weird "B" symbol ? Am I wrong?

My tiger barb is not laying eggs

[@TheDave333]

Be sure to keep the water warm (78 - 80 degrees), feed them protein rich foods like bloodworms, give them a place to lay their eggs, and remove the adults, so they don't eat the eggs.

Why are tiger barbs social?

[@TheDave333]

Safety in numbers ?

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

Mr. Shad needs a new ale wife. Get it?

[@TheDave333]

I do get it. That's the funniest joke that you've made yet! It shows a real knowledge of fish. . .

@@TheDave333 Shad and alewife are both river herring. In fact, I've caught those before.

They have them both where I live too. Blueback herring, American shad, alewife. . .
