i have 6 small tiger barbs and am thinking of adding some Sterba's Cory will they go well together
 
i donnot like the idea of tiger barbs with corys.. unless there are more places to hide then u can think of.. tiger barbs tend to be somewhat aggesssive fish and fin nippers.. they will do this to corys as well and mayke them stressed.. sometimes to the point that they will stop eating and eventually die. unless this is a heavily planted tank with lots of hiding places i don;t like the situation the corys would be in. then again i would never have tiger barbs in any of my tanks because of their high aggresion.
 
my tiger barbs do not nip at my cories, but it makes feeding harder becasue tiger barbs will eat any and everything that goes in the tank. Including sinking pellets.\

they are GREEDY :/

I have a good size group of 12 barbs so they pick on each other most of the time and leave the cories alone until meal time
