    Default Platinum or Green Tigers?

    So, I've decided to add a big school of Tiger Barbs to go with my severums since they are pretty shy.

    So far I have 6 Gold TBs (since they were on sale), and will be getting 6 regular Tigers next. Then, I can't decide between Moss/Emerald Green Barbs or Platinum Barbs. Opinions? :)

    Green:


    Platinum:

    seems everyone likes the greens, i have a few of both, they are the same fish so they dont behave any different, why not get a few of each?

    I do like the green ones when they are under the light they look amazing, however if they hide under a leaf or in the shade they can come accross as black.

    Personal preference would be the platinum TB's
