Tigers

[Man of fish]

i have had my 80liter tank for a month now i have 3 tiger barbs, 2 albino barbs and 2 ruby barbs. i keep getting diferent opinions on what other fish i can have with them, can any of you guys help me out?

Before you get more fish I'd work on upping the numbers of each species you have to six+. So 3+ more tigers 4+ more albinos and 4+ more rubys. Then you can worry about other fish

You should be ok with two kribs. I thought albino barbs were a colour variation of the tigers? If so, then just up the rubies.

Oh they are I don't know but you'd still want one more of either if they are to have six and up the rubys to six.

Maybe 5-6 Cory's?
They tend to stick to the lower level, and off the Barbs radar in my tank.

i was thinking of adding a couple of the redline torpedo barbs would they be ok with the tigers? i have asked a few people but they dont know much about them.

Torpedo barbs like lower temps as they are a temperate fish. They also grow up to 6 inches and a very active. Given the fact that like any shoaling fish, you need to keep them in groups of at least six but preferably 8, I would never keep them in less than a six footer.
