I have a 30 gallon freshwater with (1) male dwarf gourami, (6) harlequin rasboras, & (2) albino cory cats.

I would like to add (6) odessa barbs, and then finish it off with (3) boesemani rainbows.

Does anyone think that i will have a compatibility problem?
 
Hmm not sure about Odessas specifically but barbs in general are fin nippers, that said some are supossedly okay. Everything else seems fine, maybe consider adding a few more corys so you have more of a school...
 
I would add the bosenia ranbows and add 2 more corys, dont get the barbs they are to active and will nip the fins of the other fish.

JMHO
 
The barbs and the rainbows will be fine together, but the barbs will nip the other fish....the rainbows on their own will be fine with what you have already.
