Barbs And Buddies

[PerryClem0842]

Now the white spot has cleared from my tank after a week, I am looking for a fish that would be able to shoal in a group of 5-8. My main concern is that I have Barbs in there at the moment.
Now, they are getting along well with my Loach and Gouramis so I was wondering what fish other people prefer, whether they can go with Barbs and that are fairly active during the day. Any opinions and ideas would be great, thanks.

My Barbs get along swimmingly with their tankmates.
