Feeding a Tiger Barb: the honest notes
🐾
Feed small amounts 1–2 times daily; tiger barbs are ravenous and will bully slower fish away from food.
🐾
Spread food across the surface so the school chases scraps instead of tank mates' fins.
🐾
A high-protein variety (flakes, frozen bloodworms) keeps their tiger stripes deep orange.
