would i not even be able to get a pearl gouramiAgree with the above, more tiger barbs, perhaps something like loaches or corydoras for the bottom? Remember, fish with long fins will fare badly, and avoid gouramis.
thank you very much SJ2K! I have made my choice and i am going to get 2 more barbs and a gourami.At the end of the day its your tank, your fish. Nobody can say in black and white what will work and what wont because all fish and all tanks are different. If your number of TB are large enough theres every chance all the aggresion will be dispursed within there own group and a gourami would be fine. Only you can make the choice and take the chance.
