i currently have a 10 gallon and a 29 gallon tank, the 29 is still cycling, and i needed help with what fish to put in it, The fish i wanted are guppies, sunset platy, and swordtail, but then i decided i wanted some tiger barbs also, and that messed everything up because tiger barbs are fin nippers, which rules out guppies. i was wondering if platy and swordtail would be able to live with tiger barbs. I was thinking maybe 6-8 tigerbarbs, 6 platys and a few swordtail in the 29 gallon tank, and then a few guppies in the smaller tank

suggestions?

Tiger barbs are vicious little pirahna wanna-be's...

If you want some...set the tank up with them in mind...NO easy-going tankmates...

would i be able to have a group of 6-8 tiger barbs in a 10 gallon tank? how many would fit comfortably

[cocoa_pleco]

4-5 would be a good number. They do get a bit large

Tiger barbs can get up to about 3 inches long. 4 barbs in a 10 would be okay, but no more I don't think lest they start running out of room.
