oh i almost forgot.. cheery or tiger barbs are semi aggressive.. u
can mix them with gold fish, angle fish ( the peaceful cichilds),
bettas or other semi agressives..however.. barbs are of the tetra
family and will nip at a bettas fins...

convicts go well with green terrors, jack dempsey's, firemouths..i
wouldn't recommend a oscar..cuz they are slower moving than the
named above..unless they are lots bigger and can hold their own..
