Can I keep my 4, 3-4 inch tinfoil barbs with 6 RBP's in a 125g tank?

Consider your Barbs feeder fish

Nope, My p's ate them, but the barbs were smaller than the one you have.

Go head...then take pix of your dead barbs...

Your barbs will probably become food.

Hi! I had 3 4-5" tinfoils in my 55 with a pair of 9-11" reds for almost a year.The tinfoils would get a nipped tail fin once in a while,but they never got any serious damage.The P's couldn't catch them,and the P's were well fed.I did get rid of the tinfoils eventually though cause they got hellish big.I gave them to a buddy who has a 275 gallon.
Hope this helps.

I don't think so!
I do not know to much about the character of your Reds but my Cariba can't stand anything around!
Still, i've heard about people succesfully doing that since they keep their Ps very well fed!

Consider your Barb to be gourmet dinner for your Ps.

Not likly to work even if kept when both are really small or even if the Ps are much smaller... consider them food for the most part... I think they are like a snack of some sort to them in my opinion

 

[nitrofish]

those things almost remind me of piranha's. way to whimpy though

Kevin fed a tinfoil barb to his p's like 3 weeks ago or so.

Please post a picture of your tinfoils in the "Share the carnage" thread when they get smoked.
