How many tigers?

Hi most tetras would be suitable,but a little more information would help - like size of tank how long been set up and most importantly how many tigers
I have Columbian tetras and they would be fine as mine are quite feisty{amongst themselves} and are usually first to the food

Hi a group of six would be better but that is quite a small tank for tiger barbs,some other tetras may have been a better choice,such as ember tetras as they are quite small and peaceful. I am guessing at a push you could add three more tiger barbs,but not ideal long term.

That's really not the best idea, tiger barbs are very active, they prefer tanks larger than 30 gal. And groups of no less than 5/6. You should maybe look into a couple smaller fish..

Hi as you have now found out tiger barbs are very nice fish but generally for a bigger tank. There are loads of new fish on the market for smaller tanks, ember tetras, are the only one's I have kept so cannot comment on the other species,just ask on here and I am sure you will get a nice long list of fish perfect for your size set up Also you could keep shrimps aswell so they add loads of movement and really help keep the aquarium clean
