Thank you

maybe some cherry barbs, tetras, or other shoaling fish

A bigger tank,the general beginers guide is 1" of fish (adult size) per 1 gallon of water and as tiger barbs reach 3" you will be over stocked,also tigers have a tendency to become aggressive toward tankmates when kept in small aquariums.

oops, i missed the 14 gallon bit. yeah, CFC is right a larger tank would be good if you want to add more fish. the one" per gallon is just a general rule of thumb though as 1 10" pleco would have a much higher bio load than 10 1" tetras. also with modern filtration technology and natural plant minor overstocking can still keep fish healty and happy

'Tis true, but if you do get another fish, dont get something slow with long fins. Though you may have enough to keep themselves occupied, they might tear long fins to shreads.

IMO you really haven't got enough room to add anything more. Tiger barbs are quite nippy and aggresive and in a small tank they will become more stressed and are liable to aggravate any other tankmates. I know that's not want you wanted to hear but that is my opinion and I gather, that of others.
