Hi.  I'm currently cycling a 40 gallon tank, and I'm planning on having 8 Tiger Barbs in it.  I've read/heard that if that many barbs are in a tank, their aggression is kept within their group and not directed towards other fish.  With that in mind, I'm thinking about what other fish to add to the tank.  I won't be adding all of these, but these are the species I'm considering (probably 5 or 6 of one of these species):  Black Skirted tetras, Lamp Eye tetras, Zebra Danios, Black Phantom tetras, Buenos Aires tetras, Red-Blue tetras.  Has anyone had experience with the compatibility of these with Tiger Barbs?  I'd appreciate any advice.  Thanks!

before i made my 75 into a Tiger barb only tank, i had 7 of them with danios, tetras, cories, dwarf gouramis and clown loaches.... you will be fine!  
enjoy the barbs as they are GREAT fish... expect to see a vid! 

i have themmm mixed they are able to be with each other but tiger barbs like to nibble on fish with long fins but other than that u'll be fine
