I have 6 new tiger barbs and one seems to be away from the group nose down near the top of the tank. Should I be concerned ? I heard it could be a dominance thing. Please note the one exhibiting this behavior is a smaller one in the group.

Are these brand new additions to the tank? It could just be stress (temporary) or this fish could be sick. Let them settle and monitor.

My tiger barbs do the same thing. they like to hover near the top nose down. mine also sleeps like that too.
