Adding tiger barbs

[KentCurtis]

Hey everybody - I have 3 tiger barbs in my 20g right now and was thinking of adding a few more. If I were to add 2 more tiger barbs of the same type, would they school with the 3 I currently have in there? Same question with Glofish(only have 1 currently), would they school if I were to add a couple more?

I'm sure they would school. I've added 3 black-skirt tetras with 2 others and they all school around now.

Yes they would both school.

They should school with no problems. I had 3 in my tank and they were fine (all the pet store had left at the time) and I added 2 more. Due to an unforeseeable incident a while back I am down to 2 tiger barbs, 3 blackskirt tetras, a Betta, pleco and 3 Kuhli Loaches in that tank. They all (surprisingly from what I have heard from others) get along fine and the Barbs school with the Tetras. None of them even bother my Betta.

I have witnessed on a couple of occasions Tiger Barbs schooling with Clown Loaches. Maybe it's a stripe thing
