stowaway barbs

Hey,

Was wondering if anyone has any advice about arulius barbs?

I bought some plants for my guppy tank a few months ago, and I have noticed 2 random fish in the tank which I'm guessing stowed away as eggs on the plants I bought.

Its the only way I can think that they managed to get into the tank which is 100% guppies except for these two random fish...I went back to this store and they look exactly like arulius barbs.

Are they aggressive? should I get rid of them?

I don't want any of my guppies killed any advice would be appreciated..

 

barbs tend to be aggressive. but unless they are pyscho i don't think you have to worry about any of the guppies, but the babies, if you have many guppies in the tank

edit: they are fin nippers though so i would be prepared in case you must catch them in the future.

 

thats the thing...its a breeding tank for my black deltas so theres more than a few babies...

 

if they're fin nippers, they're gone..I'll give them back to the store that sold me the plants

 

in that case catch em and take them to the pet store, or start another tank. i breed guppies too. and its so hard to resist starting another tank for odessa barbs
i like them so much there like little tropical koi lol

 

i have a question what do you do with your guppy babies because im running out of space lol

 

i have 4 tanks already, i think there might be an intervention if i get any more

i really dont have a place for any aggressive or semi-aggressive fish, its a shame though because i have fallen for them a bit, cute little random fish!

i usually sell my guppies, or coax my friends into getting tanks so i can give them away ;D also have a lot of room in the 180g so i havent really been overstocked (yet!!)

 

sweet deal! lets see some pics

 

do you do any culling i can't bring myself to do it.

 

what in the hecks culling??????
