Will these fish get along???

Question

I have had a head light tail light and black skirt tetra for a while and recently got 2 tiger barbs will this work or will there be nipping and aggression?

Thanx

Answer 1

Tiger barbs need to be in groups of 8 fish or more as they like to nip at each other with insufficient barbs they will include other fish into there group and nip at them.

Answer 3

You have to school both Barbs and Tetras, they will pick on other fish if they are not schooled, in my 55 tank I have 9 Tiger Barbs and 6 Black Skirt Tetras. Along with 2 Blood Parrot Cihlids, 3 Jellybeans, 2 Cory Cats, and I am going to get 3 Clown Loaches sometime this week. They leave each other alone.
