What part of VA DDavis?
As far as the bullying goes, I understand that they will chase each other, and do their barb dance. I've watched them do this a few times already, which I find very interesting. The problem I had with the fish, is that it was chasing and bumping the other two tigers in the tank. It would go after the smaller greens now and then, but nearly as violently. The two other tigers ended up hiding most of the time behind the heater, and the pump, so he couldn't find them. Hes gone now, and I introduced a female to the group. I had no clue I had a tank full of males...
So far everyone is getting along well. There still chasing, shes still working her way into the school, and they don't tend to mess with the Corys to much. I could possibly see upping the school size to 9, but its only a 20gal tank, and I don't want to over load it. Especially now, since its not fully cycled.

Here are a few pics of the tank I just took.
Just ran a water test before i do a WC. Ammonia is still at .25, and everything else is at 0 still. Nothing growing yet.
PH is about 7/7.2

Welcome to the AC...

You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

I live in Richmond, but i work right over the boarder of the Potomac off Route 301 South.
Now that you mention it, I do remmeber reading that, while adding tiger Barbs to tank, try to get similar sizes because larger ones will bully smaller ones.
Yeah, 20 gals is sometimes a challenge to work with as far as stocking goes. You are making the right choices right now given you stock. Ultimately in a 20 gal, you might be best off doing a TB only tank. My TBs all but killed most of the cories, but have left them alone recently. Good luck!
