[GSAS-Member] tinfoils



Geeez, you'd think tinfoil barbs were like pirhana. And I wouldn't 
exactly equate them to tigerbarbs as well. I've kept all three, and 
while it is true tinfoils are quick to the food, I have never had them 
nip fins on a regular basis or tear a fish apart like a pirhana. 
Tinfoils have no significant mandibular teeth, mainly pharyngeal. They 
are actually kept as dither fish in many cases. If one decides to keep 
tinfoils I only suggest that tankmates be chosen which at least 
approach their size, are not shy and retiring (can hold their ground 
against a curious, mouthy fish ) and can hold their own during feeding 
time.
