Tiger barb tank mates

Hey all i am just doing a fish in cycle with 6 tiger barbs at the moment and i am looking what to add with the barbs when the cycle is complete .

I was looking at pearl gouramis but i read the tigers will nip so i am just asking for any ideas that you guys have

I have a 40 gallon tank

Thanks

IMO tiger barbs are best in a species only tank. I love them but they can be pretty aggressive towards other fish. Usually with a big school their aggression is kept in the group but if the attack another fish it won't end well. I had 10 in a 20gallon for a long time and it was an awesome sight. So, it would be really awesome to see 20-25 in that 40 by themselves.
