What to put in a 60l planted tank (first planted tank)

[Fish00]

I was thinking of putting tiger barbs (or any other barb recomendations) and emerald green cory cats.. how much of these could i put in a 60l planted tank?? Or if you have any other fish reccomendations tell me.
Thanks in advance

I think 60 litres is small for tiger barbs. Even small barbs like cherry barbs could do with a bit more space.

What are the dimensions of your tank? If its a cubic shape one, id rethink the barbs. If its a longer, narrower type you might get away with cherry barbs.

It is a more rectangular tank, but i will find out exact dimensions once im back in an hour or so, thanks.

If its 600mm/ 24" or thereabouts, you are probably good for something like cherry barbs. I would want 900mm/ 36" for tiger barbs.

There is a barb species called a 5 banded barb that stays small (2 to 3") and looks a lot like a tiger barb.
