Tiger barbs are active schooling fish that can be mildly aggressive, making them unsuitable for community tanks with slow-moving or long-finned fish.\r\nThey thrive in well-planted aquariums with a minimum tank size of 20 gallons, preferring soft, slightly acidic water.\r\nTiger barbs are omnivores and should be fed a diverse diet, including flake food, live, and frozen foods to maintain health.
