Tiger barb compatibility question
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!
