I have an 18 gallon tank with some Cory's and I am replacing my (unfortunately) dead swordtails soon in the future. Do tiger barbs do well with livebearers and such? Does anybody have any experience with this?
 
Tiger barbs are fin nippers so they wouldn't do well in a tank as small as this. In a 30 this might work.
 
I agree I had 3 tiger barbs in a 15 gallon long and needed 5 at least for them to not be bullies to my tetras the tiger barbs were not happy they need a lot of room to swim and the research I have done a minimum of 5 in nothing smaller than a 30 tank is ideal
