It will be a long read, enjoy, ^^
A few weeks ago,
I purchased 2 Tiger barbs, and 2 Green Tiger barbs at the LFS to add to my 20 gallon tank.
Inhabitants before the addition:
4 Albino Tiger barbs.
Well a few days later, one Green tiger barb died, possibly a disease, symptoms were::
~unable to swim correctly
~back tail was not in use
~only the fins in the upper body was used
~layed on the gravel
I disposed of it, sadly, =(
Everything seemed fined after that incident, but however a few days later…
It was never the same..
Remember how I purchased 2 Tiger barbs, and 2 Green ones?
Well the green one that is left is going nuts; it is picking on the two tiger barbs like no one's business.
The Tiger barbs are EVEN BIGGER than the One green tiger barb left.
It really saddens me how harsh this Green Tiger barb is picking on them, cornering them, bitting their tails etc.
The thing is, the Green one Is limited to picking on only the green ones and not the albino ones which were in the tank before him.
I was wondering maybe, The Green tiger barb is after revenge? Is it possible that the other tiger barbs killed the Green one that I thought died of a disease? Is it possible for tiger barbs to pummel each other until they can’t swim correctly?
I have no clue what is going on
It has been going on for weeks now,
I thought things between the tiger barbs would have settled
I know this sounds kind of strange in all, but I am really hopeless, I know of nothing to do, I see the poor tiger barbs stationary in the corners of my tank and I am really sadden by this L they seem so harmless… but it does not end there..
The crazy thing is.
Recently, I put a Gold fish in my tank to see what would happen,
would the Green tiger barb beat it up? Would it man handle the non-aggressive goldfish?
NO NO NO folks…
GET THIS:
The green tiger barb is AFRAID of the Goldfish
It swims away everytime the Goldfish swims past it…
and the other tiger barbs and albino tiger barbs seem very kind to the Goldfish
But I don’t understand the same green tiger barb that picks on my other two regular tiger barbs, afraid of a …. goldfish? Laugh out loud..
Anyways, I’ve gotten tired of seeing my other tiger barbs being mistreated by this Green tiger barb, so I got a net, and trapped him in it, laid it down on the gravel, now its stuck there.
I need a solution and FAST….
the net i trapped him in maybe too small. I need suggestions. I am sadden that this is the only solution that is left..
next to the toilet..
