Would 8 tiger barbs, 2 pearl gourami's and 3 blue rams go well in a 215l planted tank??

more tigers hun, they do better the more there is, think they work best in groups of 12+ of course you can always mix the colours up

Afraid not IMO, Blue Rams need high temps where as Gouramis and Tigers are lower temps and also Tigers are a bit too boisterous for Pearls IMO.

But....

3 Pearl Gourami 1m 2f
4 Bolivian Rams 2m 2f (though not too vital)
8 Ruby Barbs

Would work pretty nice

Black Ruby Barbs are gorgeous. I currently have 17 and they look fab. The males colour up a brilliant maroon and black colour whilst the females look more like Tigers. The contrast between the two adds a lot of clour to the tank and they shoal beautifully

Oh and they are a lot less agressive then Tigers...
