Post a pic of the "CAE". But if it is normal algae eater then it's fine.

You could put a school of buenos aires tetras in with them. They are just as fast as danios but school very nicely

i agree with boomer, the buenos aires tetras school very nicely. it's a very good addition to your tank!

Hmm I'm so indecisive lol. I really like the tiger barbs but I'm not sure how they'll do with the fish I currently have

 

[uh.oh...]

You've got a chinese algae eater there. Here is the Siamese . They can be distinguished by the stripping on the side. The siamese is zig/zagged, full, and stright, the chinese isn't. What i've heard (never kept them) is that the Chinese, in adulthood, get too lazy to eat and algae, and just prefer flakes. To that end they become incredibly aggressive, and will kill or fight with any other fish. They also grow to a length of 10 inches. The siamese on the other hand only grow to 6 inches.

Ya. I'm def getting rid of the CAEs

 

[flipsteez1]

Ya if anyone has any sugestions I'm open to them I really wanna get some color in the tank.

 

[Boomer2244]

You could even do a school of emporer or bloodfins or Kerri blue tetras

In that case, you can definitely do a shoal of TigerBarbs. They go fine with Zebra Danios and a RTS, i've read they do ok with SAE's. Do about 6+ to keep their aggression more or less on each other. For color variation, do 3 Tiger, 3 Albino Tiger and 3 Green Tiger Barbs. A more peaceful Barb species that resembles TigerBarbs are Black Ruby Barbs.
