AHH MY FISH ARE FIGHTING!!

[ROFL KATELYN X]

IVE HAD MY BARBS FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS..THERE NOT TIGER BARBS. THERE LARGER ONES. ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF LONG. AND THEY ALWAYS PLAY "TAG" BUT TODAY I LOOKED IN THE TANK AND THEY WERE FIGHTING. THEY WERE BITING EACHOTHERS FINS. AND THERE WERE SCALES FLOATING EVERYWHERE.. SOO I SCOOPED ONE OUT AND PUT HIM IN ANOTHER TANK.. WOULD THERE BE ANY CHANCE THAT IF I PUT HIM BACK IN THE TANK WITH THE OTHER ONE THAT THEY WILL FIGHT AGAIN.? OR WILL THEY BE OVER IT.


MAYBE I SHOULD BRING THEM BACK TO THE STORE??

:help:

 

[icecubez189]

exactly what species of barbs are they? how big is the tank? are there other species of fish in the tank?

 

[ROFL KATELYN X]

WOW.. UM. I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND THEY ARE TO BE HONEST. I ASK THE FISH PEOPLE IF THERE GUNNA WORK OUT WITH THE FISH I HAVE.. AND I POINT TO THEM. I JUST KNOW ITS A TYPE OF BARB. ITS A SILVERY COLOR. WITH BLACK SPOTS. ?? ID POST A PICTURE BUT I LOST MY CAMERA. =) UMM.. THERE ARE THREE OTHER TYPES OF FISH. HARMLESS. NON AGGRESSIVE. AND I HAVE 7 TIGER BARBS AS WELL.

I JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK AND REALISED THAT THE ONE I PUT IN THE SMALLER TANK DIED. SO PROBLEM SOLVED..?

JUST MY LUCK THE OTHER ONE WILL DIE BY THE MORNING

THE TANK IS ABOUT 25 GAL.

here's a link with some common barbs..check it out and see if you can identify the 'barb' you have. it helps to know the species to help with it's temperament.

good luck

Rearranging your tank will probably help. A lot of times once fish find themselves a home, they don't like other fish coming in and hanging out in their territory.

If you move your plants, rocks, wood, etc around, it's like they all have to settle into a new home, and that might help a bit.:joe:

Looks to me like a Pentazona barb.... but, I could be wrong..

 

[Dangerdoll]

Looks like a Hexagon Barb to me...
