looks like that yellow rainbowfish is photobombing you
 
They grow huge, would recommend a good 400 litre tank for these fish

As is often (but not always) the case, tank volume is not the vital criteria here, it is tank dimensions.
 
My "Congo rapids" 6x1.5x1.3 foot (~310l) would be more than adequate for a 10+ group of Redline Torpedo Barbs, if I was able to provide a variable temperature that was close to ~15C in the winter months rising gradually to ~25C in the summer months. However, without a heater, the tank varies ~21-28C (if we get a temporary heatwave). Not to mention my Chrysichtys ornatus and Ctenopoma acutirostre would consider them live lunch!
