well there's the rule of one inch of fish per gallon but its not that great of a rule. Just make sure your tank is cycled. Tiger barbs are pretty cool but they tend to be fin nippers. They tend to leave the other fish alone though if they have enough of their own kind to pick on (like 5 or more). Theres also sharks but I don't know much about them and if they will fit in a 15 gallon?? just do your research before getting anything

Hi. There are very different varieties of barb's that you can combine mutualy and you can also add some species of loaches- the smaller ones. I think that yust with combining the barbs you can make really nice looking tank, while sharks are to big for that small tank.


This is one of barb's aquarium in our public aquarium Idrija

Hi. Those barbs are actually very peacefull with any fish company that lives in water with same parameters, but haveing it with corys is not natural condition, anyway nothing is wrong with that but usualy I avoid combining that way.
