Roseline barbs in a green terror tank

[Prince]

I a considering a school 8 to 10 Roseline Barbs for my green terror tank. The Green Terrors are about 4" and very skittish. Am I just providing snacks or might they make it if i introduce them early enough. Where can I find Roseline Barbs locally?

They are green terror orderves as far as I'm concerned. Tropical Lagoon in Silver Spring has them.

But mu Green Terrors seem to be B*******. They were pushed around by three much smaller Jewel Cichlids.

Jewel cichlids are pretty feisty despite their relatively small size, so I would not assume that the Green Terror is a candidate for a community set up.

Plus Roselines are pretty expensive to risk it.

While that is true I have also come to realize that each fish has it own personality. Currently all they do is hide. In order to see more the fish I have determined to raise I have to setup a community. Dither fish may give them the idea that they don't have to hide. At the Terrors present size the Roseline Barbs are too big to fit in their mouths.

Never knew their cost. Just saw a pic in a calander and though they look good maybe they will work. Danios dont do it for me an neither do Tinfiol barbs.

Try australian rainbows. They are pretty big and active and have worked well for me.

I just put 4 rainbows in with my black belts and they are fine so far. The black belts are 6-8 inches and the rainbows about 3.

I have to agree, danios never did it for me. I used to have lots of rainbows as dithers...

 

[Prince]

and do you still want more brevis?

Yeah I'll take the rainbows and for more Brevis.
