Question
I purchased 4 tiger barbs to add too my 30 gallon tall tank after the clerk said they were good community fish I should've researched first now i want to know what fishes I could put with them now i have 6 zebra danios and 4 barbs?

Answer
Well,
if you get annother tigerbarb as they seem to do better in odd numbered schools...no reason that i know of for that.
As long as you stay away from fish with long finnage, angels, betas, guppies etc you should be fine.
The TGs will nip the fins of fish with long finnage.
Also, there are several varieties of barbs and you can make a very nice display and as an added bonus, there are pretty easy to keep.
