Tigers in 39gal?

I'm looking for some more colour in my 39gal, and am considering a shoal of Tiger Barbs. I've never kept any sort of Barb before, and I know nothing about them, other than they can be nippy. At the moment there are 2 Angels, 4 Guppies, 3 Platies, and 6 Neons in there, but I also have another 20gal set up that only has a few Platies in it at the moment, so I could do some re-arranging if nesseccary.

ive read up on tigers, but never kept them. ive learned that as long as you have a school of at least 6, then they are relatively peaceful. however, i wouldnt risk them around anything with long fins, like guppies or even angels.

in this order my concern would be guppies, then neons, then platies, then angels (depending on the size of the angels). the tiger barbs get to about 3 inches and i wouldn't keep any less than six, and more is better to keep the aggression down. personally for your tank i would go with something like cherry barbs instead, they aren't quite as big as the tiger barbs and are slightly less aggressive.
