Social Behaviour: Barbs are generally peaceful; schooling fish; although some (e.g. Rosy barb; Tiger barb) are prone to be nippy. Any aggression is minimized by keeping them in a school of four to six fish; and they can then be mixed with most community fish. However it is not recommended to mix most of the larger-sized barbs with timid; very tiny; or fancy-finned fish. Larger barbs are lively; active and can be boisterous; so timid fish may become shy even if they are not being bullied. Many of the bigger species can be kept with quite large community fish or with cichlids. On the other hand; many barbs; and particularly small species such as the cherry barb; are extremely peaceful fish; sometimes inclined to be timid themselves.
