i've bonded with my danios, you don't just get rid of fish. no matter wut. wut if you had someone say just get rid of ur mom and get another dad?
With your current stock i wouldnt recomend adding any other fish.
Tiger barbs do better in groups, as do tetras and cories.
Tiger barbs would also pick a gourami to death. Tiger barbs should not be kept with finny fish.
I have to agree with fishcatch22
I'm not trying to sound mean, i just cant honestly recomend any new fish for that setup.

you should get a larger tank or keeping something like a betta or dwarf puffers. 5 gallons is not big enough to support a school of any of the species you have, not is it suitable for anything that gets over about an inch. IMO dwarf puffers have all the attitude and personality of their larger cousins, full grown at about the size of a pea
I went with Other, I agree with everyone else I don't think your fish are suited to a 5 gallon, you can research and pick your fish but you cant' pick your parents... 
A bigger tank and researching how different species live eg, alone or in schools and also not all fish get along just because they may be together at the store doesn't mean it's a good match.
Good Luck

Well, i would definitely get rid of the tiger barb, unless you plan to get a bigger tank. You MAY be able to get 2 more danios, but thats it. I agree with everyone else though, the tank would be much better for a betta or dwarf puffer.
well you want what's best for them, right? if you love them you will return them and the tiger barb.
take them back to get a bigger tank. zebras really like to swim. the bigger the tank they are the better they do i think. i had some in my 20 for a long time when i put them in my 120 they were whole different fish.
