Cory Catfish and Tiger Barbs

I would go with 4 rather than 3, the larger the group the happier they would be and the safer they would feel. With 4 you could probably still add another 2 or 3 tiger barbs. What are you using for filtration.
 
i have tiger barbs and cories and they do fine several barbs are better than a few they like to pick on each other
 
I have kept tiger barbs and cories together with no issues. That being said...it really is dependent on the fish. I would get the largest cories I could find. Minimum would be 4 to a group. A group being the same kind...all bronze or all albinos or whatever. they will school with different kinds, but will be happier if it is all the same. I would add the cories all at the same time. Strength in numbers...they will feel safer. Provide them with plenty of cover...but I think it would be fine. If you keep up with water changes, I think you could add 2-3 more barbs. I would add them at least a week if not a little longer after you add the cories.

I think you will find the barbs will not even notice the cories.
 
We have had tiger barbs and cories together for about 3 years. No problems at all.
