Re: 8 Gallon Tank freshwater fish
Yeah, IMO,I hate to tell someone that they overstocked their tank. The bioload from the fish is pretty high, and tiger barbs are an active fish that needs room to swim and chase eachother. the Blu grom. gets pretty big over time and if my memory serving me right they require at least 20 gal. Also the barb will nip at the fins of the Grom,if they are not already. You will have to do alot of WC's in one week, everyweek to keep the water quailty up, and if you add plants the fish will have less room to swim. If you were going to get another tank get at least a 20gal long and keep the 8 as a Q-Tank. The bigger the tank the easier it is to keep water quality.
