Stocking ideas

[Hassan 2021]

Hi guys I have a 180 litre juwel vision bow front tank and I've had it running for over a year.

I have 8 fishes left and I lost a few due to cannibalism.

What I have remaining are:
4 tiger barbs ( 2 green, one normal form, and one albino)
2 Odessa barbs
2 chequered barbs

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Ph 8

I am looking to restock my tank and looking for ideas.

Thank you

Increasing the numbers for each of the three barbs is important, unless you do not want the species in which case they need to be re-homed before considering different fish from these species. It may get a bit crowded though, as each species should have 9-10 minimum. I am assuming this tank is no less than 36 inches/90 cm in length. The Tiger Barbs (all varieties are the same species) are the trouble fish here, and a group of 12 would maybe solve that, or you could rehome them and stay with the other two barbs at 10 each. This would (or should) avoid future aggression issues.
