one reason would be these fish can be territorial towards their own kind, so it is wise to keep them in pairs rather than as a group predominated by one sex. If you keep them as a group, provide lots of foliage. so even in pairs they can be terratorial and a 2.5 gallon soes not provide enough space to create territorys.

I also believe cherry barbs like to swim and in a 2.5 gallon there is not alot of room to have a decent swim

because the tank is too small for active schooling fish...not to mention putting 5-9" of fish in a 2.5 gallon tank that can't be cycled is ridiculous...you didn't even think about that?

cherry barbs - teritorial?? schoaling??

ours are pretty mundane - hang about on their own in amungst plants and only see each other if they decide to go out for food...

I'll rock the boat here and say a few should be ok in a 2.5gal...
just give them plants as cover - not sure about the frog though.
