I was wondering whether I would be able to put tiger barbs with female bettas together. I do know that you wouldn't be able to add a male betta with tiger barbs as they have long fins. But I'm not sure if the tiger barbs are not good tankmates for all Betta splendens (males and females).

fins are fins, a tiger barb can get quite nippy even with each other so i wouldn't do it. but thats just me...
how big is the tank?

I was planning on a 20H with 4 Barbs and a single female betta, with some kuhli loaches for the bottom (maybe 3, if possible).
Not necessarily.
I'd add a couple more tigers to try and keep the nipping more amongst themselves. I think it has a decent chance of working out. Also be sure the betta has some hiding places if need be.

I'm not sure if I would be able to provide with the space to add more barbs to this tank, although, this tank is not set-up yet (just a plan in my head)... The only thing that's certain is that the tank will be a 20H with the female betta and some tankmates with some live plants.
As of now, one of the larger female barb is attacking the 2 other females and the male.
I guess I'll have to take them to the fish store and get soem harlequin rasboras instead.
Thank you for the help.
