Fish Recommendation?

[dogfish7]

Hi I am new to the fresh water aquarium game. I have a new 30 gallon set-up with 7 fish in there currently. Three albino tiger barbs (orange with white vertical stripes), three red-tipped silver barbs, and one red tailed shark (all black except for tail). Am looking for a recommendation for another fish - would love something with color if possible, but am open to anything interesting!!

Rosy barbs?

You should really get more tiger barbs; they're terrible bullies if their aggression isn't spread out enough. You could have a mixture of the albinos, normal and green; they'll all shoal together.

+1 for more barbs

Dont get any more sharks they will fight.

The unfortunately thing with barbs is that they really wont mix well with any other mid water fish in a tank your size so once you have barbs, you kinda have to stick with them.

Definately need more Tiger Barbs. It's quite funny as the more you have the less they target other fish in your aquarium. They can definately punch above their weight.
