Maybe some barbs or tetras? Colorful ones such as Cherry barbs or Harlequin Rasboras. (Be careful of fin-nippers!)Or if you wanted a larger one, maybe some rainbow fish or Dwarf gouramis. Or, my final and last idea, is more tiger barbs like some green ones and some normal ones.


P.S. Are the Tiger barbs fin-nipping the angels? If they are, you might want to rethink any other stocking ideas, not to sound mean.

I'd get more tiger barbs because the fewer the numbers, the higher the chance of them nipping at the angels. 6 is supposed to be the minimum for a proper school, so I'd get 4-6 more to add to your school.
