Which Types of Pet Fish Are Compatible?

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Sally from expertvillage.com from Fish Fantasy in Riverside. We are going to be speaking about how to buy healthy fish. We are going to talk about the different types of fish. We have sweet little community fish which are mostly compatible. They are a semi-aggressive community and very passive. If you do Tiger Barbs, these are considered semi-aggressive. It is best to get the little fish in groups of 4 or more because they kind of fight. You want to make sure that you have 4 so they don't fight as much and not single one out to kill. Then you have your passive. You can do any of the beautiful little Tetra's and they form gorgeous schools. Anywhere from 6 or more will give you a school of fish. We have little Rasboras. They are not a Tetra, they are a Rasbora. The Neon Tetra is a Tetra and those look beautiful in groups of 12 or more. They form like little living jewels. You can put all the little Rasbora's. All the different types of Tetras. These are survey Tetras and then you have your community that gets very large and of course you don't want to put sweet little Tetras with anything that is going to get big because fish eat each other. Big fish will always eat smaller fish. So you don't want to put large species with smaller species. You can also have a semi-aggressive community where once again you can do the Tiger Barbs, you can do the on packs. We have picked these cats over here. They go really good in a semi-aggressive. You can do Albino Tiger Barbs. Small Tetras can either go in semi-aggressive or passive. I wouldn't make them any more than 2. They do get large so you have to be careful not to have a small tank. I would recommend that at least 10 gallons or more for sweet community fish. For semi-aggressive, at least 30 galls or more."
