they are a schooling fish they prefer to be in schools but I am sure it will be fine alone. it will just want to be with others.
We had one before and they're pretty neurotic alone. They will school with any type of schooling fish though, as long as you don't get anything they can swallow.
My 3 tins swim together or with the common/comet goldfish I have. I never seem them alone though.
Why not just go get one? The fish will be happier, You get to buy another fish (always a high for me). See your lfs and what is new in there. And maybe even talk some fish smak with someone.
schooling fish always do better in a school IMO. They act like spastic idiots on their own, but I've never had barbs, so they may be different.
Maybe you should get a battery operated air pump that goes on when the power goes off?
yea i will be looking into that. and i think im going to go to my lfs today and pick some barbs up. thanks guys.
