Tank mates for Tiger/Green Barbs

i had 7 tiger barbs in a tank with, red tailed shark, 2 kribs, 1 african black knife fish, 1 synodontis, 2 pictus catfish...

never had any problems, they were only interested in them selves and they love to eat rams so stay away from rams

also the kribs fight back and the barbs seem to be afraid of the kribs
 
I've tried just about everything over the years. Right now I have ten barbs. I love neon rosey barbs. They are so friendly and gorgeous. Also, gold barbs work about the same way and they will eat anything. Right now I doubt I have room for any. Black ruby barbs are sensitive, but difficult to find.

I like my Colombian tetras, but they ignore me. My kid likes them because they look like piranhas to him. They get along fine with the barbs. So do my wagtails.

Ok, if I have to choose between Kribs and an RTS, I would rather go with Kribs.

Now what if I got a Yoyo Loach as well? Saw one in the store today and they are so cool!

Loaches need to be kept in a group so I would go with a group (4 min) of them OR Kribs (which I would be concerned about in a 33, but have no personal experience with).
 
also i had an odessa barb, a male one which was cool
 
I have 4 yoyo loaches in the tank with my tiger barbs. (Originally 5.) They are just fine together.
 
oddessas and black rubys are great mine just died though one oddessa left had 2 of each.

I think the kribs sound good might be some other cichlids too but i am not expirience with them. I like the geophagus but thy are slow and i think need a big tank
