On (30 Nov 96) Chris Phillips Rambled On  To Adrian Worley...
AW> CP> BTW I now have Tinfoil barbs, Mickey Mouse platys, Red Serpae tetras,
 CP> AW>You have these in the same tank? If so, how big are the Tinfoils?
 CP> Yes. It is a 55 gallon long tank. When I purchased the barbs, I did
 CP> not realize just how big they could get! They were only about 1.5
 CP> inches
 CP> long then, not including the tail. Now they are 2.5 inches long and
 CP> still growing. All of the other fish are 1.5 to 2 inches.
 CP> Mea culpa! I should have asked how large they would get when I bought
 CP> them, but I was more concerned with how they would get along in a
 CP> community tank.
   Had a 60 gal, 2 tinfoils, they grew to 8-9 INCHS. (mouth to tail end)
   They pretty much left other fish alone, had gouramis, angels, pleco,
   Danios, and Silver Dollars in with em.
 CP> Oh well, I will keep them until they get to be a bother and then I can
 CP> take them to the aquarist for a small credit.
 They do best on a vegetarian diet.
