The tiger are demons of the fish world. They can an might harass anything. Also I would only do one opline gourami ,mabye 2 adult ones if you heavily Plant an decorate the tank. 4 is going to cause issued

Everything looks Fine the gouramis are hiding and the barbs are chasing eachother

How large are they, they might be fine for now, an mabye for the future too. I can't predect that. Lol but those are can be seriously aggressive/ territorial fish. If your tank is well planted/ decorated, it might work

 

[johny boy]

The gouramis are Like 3 inch each the tank is heavily decorated lol

All right, cool B) that should help as they grow. They can get close to 6 in. An keep an eye out on the tiger barbs, sneaky devils

Hmm, the grouamis are probably stressed from the trip while the barbs are establish a hierarchy is my bet lol

Yep. And there is a 95% chance there WILL be a problem with the goiramies. They dont like eachother and will most likely not get along in that tank. Maybe 2 but Not 4.

 

[bmarine]

Yup, agreed, your safest bet is just keeping one lol

 

[AngelFishGirl]

+1 two Gouramis at MAX preferably one.

 

[johny boy]

Even if the tank is big?

Considering they get 4+" and if Cg is right 6" then i would say 75g minimum for 4 if not a bugger tank

If not kept in large numbers, tiger barbs will find the gouramis' pectoral fins very tempting-it's just a matter of time. I would choose between the gouramis or the barbs. I would also consider swapping the opalines with pearls, but that's just my preference.

I would agree that the gouramis will have an issue with the tiger barbs. If you have 4 you should take 2 out and add 2 more tiger barbs and another 2 neons.
