Please identify the Barb.

I just purchased several barbs. Two are the typical tiger barbs, the other two are orange in color with white stripes instead of the usual black stripes running vertically down the body. The guy at the LFS didn't know exactly what type of barbs they were. I searched your gallery to determine the type but did not see them listed. What kind of barbs are they?

Your fish numbers are very uneven with regard to breed types. tetras like to be in groups of 6+, and you may find your barbs will harrass the other fish because they are in a small group.

I'm moving the tetra's to my other tank. Will the Barbs bother the cory cats or will the cats take advantage of the rock formation in my tank as hiding places? (That was the intent of my rock formation).

no they shouldm't, corys are nocturnal and barbs rest at night, so wen the corys are active the bards wont be out, plus with teh rocks they can get out of teh way if they need too.
