Adding New Fish

[Stormie]

Hi I recently bought an existing tank its 32 inches long, 16 inches high, and 12 inches deep its is home to 4 corys 2 tetras and 4 rainbows I've tested the water daily and its settled into its new home fine and no abnormal readings I am however pondering ordering 4 african dwarf frogs for it and 6 silver tip tetras however on the same order I'm pondering combining postage for a friend and getting another 6 dwarf frogs and 6 t-barbs tho while a great idea in theory I'm now worried htis is going to kick my tank into a mini cycle and harm the inhabitants. Tho the tbarbs and 6 frogs wont be staying they would need to be in my tank a week before they go to their new homes .... am I right in thinking this is a bad idea and we should scrap the combining postage idea?

I wouldnt get tiger barbs with dwarf frogs they are aggressive the tiger barbs.
How many gallons is the tank.

Its a 22 uk gal tank I think (my maths is crud) Also they arent tiger barbs they are t-barbs (spanner barbs)

Best peice of advice always make sure the fish you are buying are compatable.
Even when the tank is cycled don't add to many fish as it can send it into a mini cycle if there not enough benefical bacteria to cope.
Sorry thought you meant tiger barbs.
