Tinfoil barbs grow huge, your tank now is to small for one fully grown. Dont buy another unless you plan on getting a much bigger tank.

Tinfoil Barbs reach 12-14" and are messy shoaling fish, unless you can upgrade your current tank very soon to a much bigger tank I would advise you to rehome the current Tinfoil.

They are also famous for fast growth, a food fish in South East Asia. I agree, they are not really suited to your current set up.
