Have You Seen Tiger ?

I have seen Green Tiger Tomatoes, Green Tiger Beetles and even cute little Green Tiger Barb Fishes, yet short of dipping a ferocious tiger in green food coloring I doubt very much I will be seeing a green tiger soon. Well, guess again.Sure, there is still more that I can do to become even more earth friendly with my business, and I will always to watching for ways to improve. I think what is important is that we all try to do our part to reduce our carbon footprints. As it is, even the seemingly little things, ad up. So when de-cluttering and downsizing is on your list and you have some things you need to part with, let me provide the help to make sure your unwanted items are handled in a environmentally friendly manner. I will help you to donate, sell, consign or recycle and together we will do our part to stay green.

Tiger barbs are suitable for beginner aquariums where they are best kept in large schools. Tiger barbs can often resort to fin nipping if they are kept in too small schools but this is seldom a problem if they are kept in large schools. It is however still recommended to avoid keeping tiger barbs with slow moving, long finned fish species. The average life span in a well kept aquarium is 6 years.The tiger barb originates in South-East Asia and are native to Indonesia and Malaysia. They live on the Malay Peninsula, on the island of Sumatra and on the island of Borneo. The tiger barb can however today be found in many waters around the world where it voluntarily or involuntarily have been introduced by man. Countries where it has been introduced includes Australia, Singapore, Suriname and Colombia.

They often spawn in regular community aquariums but it is rare for any fry to survive in a community aquarium. Most often the eggs get eaten well before hatching. They are easy to sex as the female tiger barb is larger and have a much rounder belly. Males have distinctive red noses, and above the black part of their dorsal fins you can see a characteristic red line. The dorsal fin of the female is mainly black.They will likely spawn the next morning or at the very least the morning after if they are in spawning condition. If you fish hasn't spawned in tree days a recommend trying another pair instead. The eggs are sticky, do not float in freshwater and are usually slightly above 1 millimetre (0.04 inches) in length. The number of eggs usually ranges from 300 to 500.
