    Question Blood Parrot Cichlid and tiger barbs?

    I have a 90 that I am 'remodeling' to fit my two blood parrots. Would a large school of tiger barbs be easily compatible with my two blood parrots? The parrots are still young so there's that little bit of 'growing up' with the school to get use to them, but i'm not sure how much that works anyway.

    Eitherway, two blood parrots with a large school of tiger barbs? And how many tiger barbs to be safe??

    I think it would be fine with a big enough school, somewhere around 10-15 tiger barbs will be fine.

    Sweet. Thanks!! What is another larger-ish fish that could go along with the bp's and tiger barbs? Angelfish? (my mom really loves those)

    Well something along the lines of a pearl gourami or a gold gourami would do good. I wouldn't add angel fish with BPs.

    I agree with Sev. Just as long as the fish is sizable not to be eaten, it should be fine.

    Good luck,
