usually corys aren't bothered but i do know larger schools/groups of 5 or more barbs tend to agress only with each other so you just have to see

p.s. something cool about them:

you will notice a few of the fish 'standing on their head'. As this type of school has a dominant leader, the Tiger Barb shows its submissiveness to others by tilting its body.

You'll often see two Tiger Barbs fighting for superiority. They'll try to push each other (in a fairly harmless way) via their mouths until the loser gives up and swims away. Occasionally you'll even see three doing this.
