Don't you already own Rummy Noses? In previous posts I seem to remember you mentioning them? The bigger the shoal the better.

I thought tiger barbs to be a little agressive-not sure if that would go over well with the dainty rummy nose's. Although they are fast zippers they might be stressed too much with the barbs. If you are going to go ahead anyway, go with 6 or more.

yes i do have rummy nose but i am asking this for a friend. So what fish can go with Tiger Barbs then.

I keep my tiger barbs in a group of six and they don't really annoy or bother any of the other fish in the tank. I'm pretty sure you rummy-nose tetra will be ok. Just make sure that you have enough hiding spots...so they can hide just incase the tiger barbs get a little mean.
Your 3ft tank won't be over stocked, well that's what I think. Frequent water changes will help though.
