What to put with tiger barbs

[lyquidphyre]

I think I want to get green tiger barbs for my 29gal and I know they are fin nippers so what else can I put with them?
I've looked at profiles and I know what NOT to put them with, just not a clue what would work with em

Thanks in advance!

As long as you have atleast six plus (6+) Tigers in the school they will generally be too busy amongst themselves to overly harass other tankmates.
But Tiger are nippers and it will happen, short or long fins regardless.

I'm currently keeping a small shoal (6) of Tiger Barbs with Blue Gouramis, Java Combtails, Ceylon Combtails and different types of loaches. No problems at all.

I haven't had any problems whatsoever with fin nipping in my 58 gal (see my sig).

As long as you have at least six tiger barbs, they will be too busy chasing and bossing each other around. Most danios, barbs, tetras, and rasboras should be fine with a large group of tiger barbs.

red devils get big and could eat the tiger barbs

and exodons(buck tooth tetra) are fin eaters and they grow about 6 inches and they could devour our barb piece by piece
