2 Inch Golden Barb in West Houston needs a new home.
He is too agressive toward cory cats and I have several. This fish and a former tank mate killed one cory cat in a 15 gallon tank when all the fish were much smaller. Later I moved all the fish to a 55 gallon and all was well until this fish was left as the sole golden barb in the tank, and even then it was good for many months--but then just this last week I discovered a cory with nearly nipped off fins. (this is the only fish capable of doing the damage)
Last of his kind and last barb of any kind in my tank now (there were some cherry barbs), does not like being alone and I find these fish too apt to nip fins to buy more.
Put the barb in a 15 gallon two days ago to protect the catfish and the barb has been going nuts--hates the smaller tank--races around and thrashes himself out of frustration--wants to freeswim in a large tank.
Now today I am having to move the corys into the small tank, to spare the barb's sanity-- but I want to find a new large home for the barb ( :
The cory's also like a larger tank, and I feel this barb will pine away on its own even in the 55.
So ( : If you have a large tank --at least a 29 but preferably a 55 or larger and feel sorry for this fish (LOL let's face it--he's not valuable enough to warrant driving across Houston to get him, but if you are close and have a spot for him, he would appreciate it)
best,
Oxyrhynchus
