Odessa barbs need to be in groups of 6 or more. Up the size of that school before thinking about bottom dwellers

The same applies to the green barb, but there are some other issues here. What species is the green barb (green tiger barb, or something else?) What are the tank dimensions? And the water parameters, especially GH and pH.

We cannot responsibly suggest substrate fish without knowing the water parameters, meaning the hardness (GH) and pH. And the tank dimensions too, as the various options might be too large, or too small.
