I confirm this report from Flash. This just happened to me, and I simply
increased the tiger count...they now seem active but no one is being
picked
at. The fin injured fish lived for weeks, but eventually died from abuse.


More likely the other tigers picked on Sparkle; they do have a
tendency to do that until the pecking order is established, or
when they feel like it! Mine did that until there were just
three left, and nobody messes with them.


Thanks, all.

Sparkle seems okay. I have one mean Barb but the others get along great.
The mean one chases all the other Barbs but leaves the other fish alone. I
had 9 barbs for a while and they did get along better, and I thoought about
adding three more, but I can only find small ones at LFSs. I suppose I
could go to Petsmart and see what they have, cause they usually have bigger
ones. Then again, 37 g tall tank, 6 barbs, 4 cories, 1 black shark....
aren't I getting close to capacity?
