The red line I got from a website that I was reading trying to identify their sex... I know they do better in larger groups... I only use to have the one.. (he was the only friend my bala would allow) when the bala died I went and got him two mates (they are **** hard to find around here!) and came home to find my neighbour had thrown their mollies in to my tank! The what i believe is male has the run of the whole tank.. the mollies kind of ignore him.. but the other two barbs just hide from him and you never see them. I was hoping they would all school up nicely and was going to get more (if i found them and if i decided my tank could stock more)

Gotcha... sorry about the bala.
Keep in mind that the Greens are the same species as the regular or albino Tiger barbs and they will schoal (Barbs don't necessarily "school") together. I had 4 Regulars, 3 Green, and 3 Albino. It made for a very interesting group.
Thanks.. I was pretty sad.. had him for 5 years and he was 9 inches.. I was just in the process of getting him a 6 foot tank... when i woke up one morning and he was dead.
Yep know they are in the same species.. I just dont like any but the green (specially what im told is called a platinum green... tho i think its just a green with funny colours)
.. having said that I havnt seen the Albino one. 
I went to 6 different fish shops and travelled 130 miles to find the green.. I was a woman on a mission! lol
