Tiger barb pack (150 L)

A pack of semi-aggressive striped fish: vivid, fast, but no roommates.

Tiger barbs are semi-aggressive schoolers. In groups of 10+, aggression dissipates, but peaceful species can't live with them.

Bristlenose tackles algae, shrimp clean leftovers. Without barbs it would be boring — with them, chaos and beauty.
