If you can up the number of tiger barbs it may be possible. There fin nippers and may go after the dwarf. But in higher numbers they are usually a little more peaceful

10 gallon
Sorry to say this but the pleco (if its a common pleco), the swords, and the tiger barbs all grow too large for a 10g. Pleco's and swordtails, which can reach 5+ inches (mostly males) carry a heavy bio-load and should be in much larger tanks with very good filtration. Personally I'd rehome the pleco, swords, and tiger barbs then up your school of tetra's to at least 6 and then get a DG.

I have a Opaline Gourami and he was fine with my Catfish, Platys, & Corys BUT at one time I had to remove one of the Platys to treat for IPs in a seperate tank. Once she was better, I tried placing her back into the main tank...the Gourami now attacks all the Platys
