Breeding Tiger barb

I'd chase up info on that species and try apply it to the tiger barb.
Think of barbs as rainbow fish in that it is VERY rare for fry to survive
being in the same tank as adults.
No that doesn't include 'blue eyes' but then they are not really rainbows
I recon a good bit of egg mop work and a seperate tank (filled with water
from the parent tank) to hatch out eggs on the mops will be the go


My experience has been slightly different....my blue eyes never bred
successfully.....but I do have a 1" Boesman Rainbow Juv in one of my
tanks.....not with his parents to be fair but with another trio of
Boesmans before I even realised he was there....he travelled across
tanks in some Java Moss....so a bit of a fluke.....the tank he went to
just contained the Boesmans and some tetras IRRC at the time and was
130g....so it is possible.....

Sorry for the hijack - it was just this comment by Swarvgorilla caught
my attention
