hey everybody, right now i have an albino corry, 2 tiger barbs, and a pleco in my 6 gallon tank. im thinking about some more tiger barbs, maybe like 3 more, but i want to know if there are some other cool agressive fish that i can get, maybe a shark??? just want some recomendations. thanks.
 
Well maybe 2 tiger barbs are too much in a 6 gallon, you shouldnt add any more fish to it. The shark needs at least 29 gallon. Besides, shark wouldnt mix well with peaceful pleco.
 
I had 5 tiger barbs outgrow a 15-gal tank in about 4 months, so I agree that you are stocked. I would recommend against any additional fish in that tank, unless you get a larger tank for the barbs and the pleco, and get 2 buddies for the cory cat, since they are schooling fish. Then you could get a small school of white clouds or neons for that tank, or a betta.

If it is a common pleco, then a 55 gal will be minimum requirements for it - some grow more quickly than others so I'm sure you will be able to tell when it is too big.
