Torpedo Barbs Compatibility

[I Love my fishies]

Do you think I could put some torpedo barbs in with my Tiger and Green Tiger Barbs?

I read in practical fishkeeping mag yesterday that Tiger barbs will not bother other fish if you have enough of them, say, six, maybe. They also say that if you have a scowndral amonst them, just add another. This should calm them.
My torpedo's are damn fast. I doubt a tiger would have a chance to get its teeth around.


Added in edit... Torpedo's get to about six inches. So obviously the tank size wll matter. Also, They are a shoaling fish. I read that they should be kept in a minimum group of four.
I have two, they are fine. But when I get the chance I'll get another four. They are beautiful and increadably peacful.

hmmm well that is not exactly true that Tiger Barbs won't bother other fish in big groups Tiger Barbs usually kill the non-agressive slow moving fish I have seen this with my own eyes (and they were in a goup of , but if the torpido Barbs are fast then they should be fine.Thankyou for the advice I think I will add some Torpedo's however I am yet to find any in LFS do you have any pic's of your little guys?
