Tiger barbs are hardy, colourful, and endlessly entertaining but they’re also one of the most commonly mis-stocked freshwater fish, which is why fin-nipping and “random aggression” show up so often. In this episode of The Aquarist’s Edge, Art breaks down a complete tiger barb care guide: the best tank size in litres, the ideal schooling group size, the most effective ways to reduce aggression, and how to choose tank mates that won’t get harassed.

You’ll also learn practical feeding strategies for health and colour, how to set up your aquascape with sight breaks and swimming lanes, and ways to address and prevent problems like faded colour, chasing, and torn fins.
