Suggestions on Additions?

Hey everyone! I am in need of some suggestions! I have a 29gal (us) tank with 5 Tiger Barbs and 1 Rubber nose pleco. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good tank mates for them. Im not really wanting to add anymore Tiger Barbs tho. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Spekbelly and to Fish Lore. I'll let members that have Barbs also answer your questions. I hear they can be a bit nippy at times. Have fun and enjoy the site. I'm sure you'll get responses soon.

I would just stick to maybe 2 more tiger barbs. They are SUPER nippy & tank mates are difficult in smaller tanks.
