...against the Dempsey and Oscar, and went with barbs of all kinds...I'm all stocked now! Now I have to re-configure the 20 and 10 G tanks...too much of the same thing...but my queston is should I salt the 55G...are all the fish good with some salt?

no salt...its not needed even if lfs people say it is.

and when your barbs are all full grown your tank might be overstocked and very aggressive. and the tinfoil barbs will get really big and will need a bigger tank eventually...they can get up to 14" long

Nope, not a problem...I've got an empty 55G just waiting for an excuse to have water in it! :D Everybody is still really small, so it's all good for now...

Rainbow shark has staked out his claim...doesn't let ANY fish near the piece of shipwreck he picked...except the clown loaches...he has no problem with them in there...why is that?
