pl so i've heard 1 male to females but then ive also heard an equal M/F ratio on another forum. so im kind of confuse what to do with 15 cherry barbs. either 5 males and 10 females or 12 males and 13 females. what do other people that have kept cherry barbs together think?

I have always read 2/1 female/male ratio.

that has what has worked for me, but i have also done 2m/3f type ratio as well. You basically want a few more females than males as the males will chase the females a lot to mate once they reach maturity.
