Can Tiger Barbs be stocked in a 15 gallon tank?

Best Answers

There are 2 sizes of Tiger Barbs, the smaller of which could be kept in a small school of 6 in your 15 gallon. read more

Yes you can and not more than 6–7 fishes in the tank. Tiger barbs are little aggressive in nature so better keep same sized fish if you want to have other tank mates. You can balance their aggression by adding in even numbers of male or female in ratio. read more

For a 15 gallon tank, it's overstocked already, so you shouldn't add anymore fish. For barbs, they should be in schools of 6 each, so if you added 6 of each of what you have, you'll need at LEAST a 40 gallon tank. read more

Also, tiger barbs are not compatible tank mates with most community tropical fish. In a small 20 gallon, you won't be able to house any other fish except **maybe** 3-5 dwarf corydora. Unless you can upgrade to a 20 gallon long, don't get tiger barbs. If all you can manage is a 15 gallon tank, go with a different top schooler. read more
