I have been looking online for an example of a biotype for my tiger barbs but havn't come across any good ones. Is there a good site out there?
9-tiger barbs
2-albino tiger barbs
1-gold nugget pleco
:confused:

Slappy beat me to it.
Mongabay has some of the best and most concise info you're going to find. For barbs try his SE Asian River (http://www.mongabay.com/fish/biotope.htm#Southeast%20Asian%20River) listing.
If you check out the Skeptical Aquarist (http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/), the WetFeller has a nice section on Researching Ecotopes although I haven't been able to find very specific info on the sites he links to (great big picture stuff though, worth a look). Unfortunately his Indo-Malay page seems to be down… (does he know this? Should I have sent him a note weeks ago? :( ).
Google around a bit and try a variety of keywords. Don't forget about the Images tab either -- reference sites are great, but it isn't it nice to be able to visualize…
