Best Answer

Other barbs and fast swimming fish e.g. danios.

I have them with rosy barbs, angelfish, gouramis, ropefish and plecos. However, if you try this be sure to keep a close eye on them. My angels actually boss them around so the barbs don't mess with them. But again its your risk, also make sure the angels and gouramis are almost adult size.

The tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) or sumatra barb, is a species of tropical Freshwater Fish belonging to the Puntius genus of the minnow family. The natural geographic range reportedly extends throughout the Malay peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, with unsubstantiated sightings reported in Cambodia. Tiger barbs are also found in many other parts of Asia, and with little reliable collection data over long periods of time, definite conclusions about their natural geographic range versus established introductions are difficult.

they eat flake food. They also take vegetables like lettuce chopped into tiny peices. They are very easy to keep but can be aggresive to other fish if not kept in groups.

Omnivores. Flake or pellet is excepted. Also feed frozen or live blackworms and brine shrimp, as well as vegetable based foods, including spirulina based foods.
