[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.
