Would it be ok to put 7 tiger barbs in a 29 gallon with:6 rummynose tetras, 6 pristella tetras, and a albino bn pleco????
Tiger barbs aren't really "community" fish at all. They are sold young, but mature "mean". They are aggressive schoalers and would do better in a larger tank with more active tank mates. The pleco would likely be fine, but I think you'd lose the other fish over time due to stress.
Maybe a more laid back barb? Pandas, snakeskins, etc.?
5 banded hexazona barbs! I have 6 in my 29 with rummynose and they all school around together sometimes. Great little fish!!
