B. Are you CERTAIN they are female? Some females look bright, like males when they are small and fade as they mature.
Barbs are schooling fish. 2 is NOT a school. Four is hardly a school, but it is a start. I'd add one more bronze cory, because while it may not look like it, they school too, or at least seem better with more of their own kind around.
I'd also say add at least one more plant (plastic or real) if you have any, because the fish will appreciate a moderately planted tank too.

D-and make it another female barb so the males don't outnumber the females. They will peruse the female unrelentlessly; trying to mate. Two females to one male is the method I always adhere to.
Have fun with your fish....it's a great hobby and very rewarding!

C even though some people don't realize they do make sinking pellets to feed them with so they won't starve to death. I love corydoras. I just recently bought my mom some for her tank and she gets more enjoyment from them than the other fish in her tank. One albino corydora is all over the place, swimming up and down and side to side.

First, i'm sorry to your loss. i've got lost a pair of admired forged and that's coronary heart breaking. i does no longer placed yet another male interior the gang, noticeably top now while the others are mourning. And the cats do mourn. We had a pair outdoors cats who relatives member yet another. while the male died, the female substitute into lost. We enable her in with us while she substitute into lonely, yet she did no longer particularly come again to generic till yet another stray got here alongside to share existence together with her. each and all of the indoor/outdoors cats we had did no longer make any difference to her. She did no longer in comparison to them; they simply weren't her chum. And her chum were an fairly specific, very stupid male. We had yet another male, yet he wasn't her sort i assume. interior the top the cats bond with who they are going to bond with. you are able to convey yet another in, and probably they might have that distinctive chemistry or no longer. i could convey the cat in for you however and not placed too severe expectancies on it filling the hollow for the different cats. when you consider that the different 2 are older, i could go with an entire grown no longer a kitten. i think of no rely if or no longer you evaluate the two relies upon on your techniques set. i do no longer evaluate any of ours, even after yet another leaves. they're all so unique. Even between Siamese, you will locate they're all persons. you will be able to desire to get a cat that appeared precisely the comparable, even though it may be completely distinctive. And, your different cats could comprehend it wasn't Shoelace. good success inclusive of your decision. happy to pay attention you would be checking the rescue!

B.
Keep your barbs in a school where females out-number males.
