Any thoughts on or experience with adding rosy barbs or cherry barbs to tiger barbs? I have a 125 gallon tank that currently houses a mix of tiger, albino, green, and black ruby barbs (16 now with a goal of about 30 or so) plus a small school of corys. I want to make sure that they would be OK with the other guys before getting them.

Wow, I just saw almost the exact same question from somebody else 5 messages down! Sorry about that. Comments are still appreciated. I'm not sure that the rosy barbs would school with the other fish but I didn't know if having two different schools in my tank would be a problem.

if you already have 16 tiger barb, then rosy or cherry both would work as the tiger school is large enough by itself already.

If the tiger school is smaller i would go for rosy since they are slightly bigger than cherry so wont be picked on as much by tiger barbs.
