Have one gold barb, will it be fine?

Hey guys!

When I bought what I thought was 6 cherry barbs last time I went to the fancy LFS turns out one of the supposed 3 albino cherrries was a young gold barb, it's my fault, I didn't check the bag after they left the tank but the store is over an hour away, I've had him for close to 3 wks. now and he swims with the cherries and danios fine.
Will he be fine alone? I can't add any more fish to my tank, it's a 55gal. well planted but can't have more.
Stocking is: 6 Zebra danios, 12ish black kuhlis,3 gold eel kuhlis, 1 delta male betta, 2 nerites, 80ish MTS, 2 clown plecos, 5 Yoyo loaches, 5 cherry barbs and the 1 said gold barb.

Shouldn’t be an issue both those mix well together together.
maybe keep an eye on extra bullying either from him, or towards him .
I’m surprised the Barbs haven’t bothered the betta though.
never owned Betta nor barbs but tended to many of them and barbs are fin nipping bastards sometimes and well betta will be bettas lol

I thought I wouldn't be lucky but in the 2 years the tank has been here not a fight has happened!
I guess I have enough tall plants, hiding spots, and enough fish to balance out any aggression?

Yeah, in a 55 gallon small fish like that have all that space to swim around. It’s quite possible that you’ve averted aggression that way, but in general tiger, barbs and barbs usual tank mates don’t include fish with fluffy or longer Fins such as angel fish or Bettas.
That’s awesome that you’ve had such great success.
Stay vigilant!

I sure will! Thanks for the help!

 

Barbs are just another form of a goldfish so basically treat them the same, they are fine hanging out on their own. The exception is Tiger Barbs and a couple of others that seem to have attitude for some reason.
