most active community fish

Hi everyone:

I have a question -- I'm looking to add some fish to my 25 gal. right now I'm down to 2 green barbs ( gave 4 to my little cuz) and 3 super small tiger barbs.

Any recommendations on active community fish that will go with my tiger bars. I'd like some more action in my tank!

I was thinking about danios? but can't think of anything else.

I would add about 5 more tiger barbs. eta: more green barbs too-aren't those schoolers?

yup, I was trying to get more diversity.
My first thought was to make it a barb tank.

The only problem is with the barbs in the tank first, then adding fish, the barbs may tend to be more aggressive. It's better to add the barbs last in a community tank. Also, the more barbs you have the less problem for other fish.

yeah, I've planned on adding more barbs I just also wanted something else.
Maybe I'll stick to barbs and danios.

Danios are fast and with more barbs I should be fine.

long finned zebra danio, they are good looking, fast, and really active
