Question
hi,
i'm just wondering how i can get my tiger barb to stop picking on my other fish? the one fish he picked on right now is in a seperated tank, i hope he lives. and i also hope the tiger barb doesn't pick on any other fish. what should i do?

Also i'm wondering if i should presoak the food i give to my fish? i have O.S.I vivid color food and also nutrafin max dried blood worms how should i feed them, normal or presoaked?

  Thank you

First of all, sorry for taking so long to answer this. My account password was lost, and it took the allexperts staff over a week to get back to me. Sorry. Now, on to your questions!


You can't do anything. Tiger barbs are very agressive and should really only be kept in species only tanks in schools made up of no less than 2 dozen individuals.

Flakes should always be pre soaked for at least 20 seconds. Other foods it is not needed.
