Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to fish care, but I've become fascinated by it. In the last few weeks, I've gone from no fish to thirteen (6 tiger barbs - 3 regular, 2 green, 1 albino - 2 plecosimus -sp?- one Malawi Golden cichlid -I think- two convict cichlids, a texas chiclid, and a firemouth cichlid). I'm getting ready to buy a bigger tank (or two), because I know I'll need it/them, but at the moment they are in two seperate smaller tanks. I actually made a Myspace account for my fish, just because I was bored and I would rather talk about them than me, haha! And... there ya go.
yeah get two, the convict, texas, and firemouth cichlid will grow very large and aggressive and will kill or eat the tiger barbs, the pleco will also get very big, i'd sayget about a 20 gallon tank for the other fish, and a 40 gallon for those cichlid ( not the malawi one ) and pleco.
Anyways, welcome to tropical fish forums
