do barb species shoal...
 

with each other?

I mean if you had 6-8 each of tiger, cherry, and gold barbs would they maintain 3 seperate schools or one mega school? Just curious.

hi
i found that the tigers and golds hung around together a lot when they were little,not so much as they got mature.
however the odeaas and the tictoe stuck to their own.
i never found them bickering out side of their groups,they were,and still are all good together.
I know that i'm lucky,because there are people who have had an awful
time with their barbs no matter what they tried.
