Ive seen tiger barbs mixed in... I personally would be afraid to...
 
I've seen people put them in large groups...I tried to put 4 in with my convict cuz he seemed bored/lonely n he just killd the smallest 2 the others r still good tho its been a couple of weeks

I figured that. Never seen it before plus I want a cichlid only tank.

Do a Malawi tank imo. Mine is mbuna (labs, rusty, Acei), synodontis petracola catfish and a bristlenose pleco.
 
My juvenile Kribs are fine with a school of 6 Tiger Barbs....the barbs bother each other as long as you have the right amount
 
I've got a mbuna tank with six tiger barbs. We started out with 10 and now at six which have been in there about two months. They leave my others alone and do their own thing.
