Breeding Tiger Barbs
The breeding tank should have a thin layer or no substrate and a few leafy plants.
They usually will spawn the morning after being introduced to the tank, a partial water change can also induce spawning. The female is the more active partner and will lead in the courtship.
After chasing and false matings the pair will spawn in the plants, with the partners coming alongside each other and the male twisting around the female.
The transparent eggs will hatch in about 24 hours at a temperature of 75°.
Tigers Barbs must be fed the finest of food like Brine shrimp Nauplii, once a little growth has taken place they are fairly easy to raise. Tigers Barbs are spawn eaters and should be removed from the tank right after mating.
