Hi,
I am experiencing the following problem with my green tiger barbs. Since I keep them for quite a long time I am very aware how to keep them: they are 16 in 300 L in good conditions, lots of plants and hiding places with large open areas for swimming. Big external filter provides biological filtration and water movement.They are also fed well with flakes, frozen, spirulina food, but still they keep hiding almost all day long only when the light is less they start to come out and play as they are described to be active fish, so I concluded the light is the thing, but I do not have strong lighting , only 108 w for 300 L T5 tubes.
anyone experiencing the same thing with the barbs? any opinion would be appriciated
is there any chance to solve this situation to make them more active?
thanks.
