    Default Tiger barb neighbours in the wild?

    What fish would be found in the same region as tiger barbs in the wild? And could possibly come from similar streams and rivers as they do?

    Looking at adjusting my current stock of fish to more closely mimic the natural habitat of the tigers.
    Also if anyone can find actual pictures of TB's in the wild that would be cool as well. Thanks!

    Tiger Barbs are found in Borneo, Sumatra as well as throughout Asia. They would have many neighbors which would likely vary depending on what area they are in.

    I think they're often found in a southeast asian biotope, so fish they'd be found with would be clown loaches, rosy barbs, giant danios...

    Grant, isn't your giant tank at the front of the store a SEA biotope type right now? I was trying to buy some of the large tigers barbs out of it last week, but no dice.

    Gone fishing....
