could i put 10 tiger barbs in a 55gallon with 1 JD, 1 convit, Nicaragua cichlid, blood parrot 2 5" bichirs and a 7" ghost knife...

PS
"might" be getting a bigger tank this Christmas.. Idk what size parent won't tell me.. :)
 
from experience, JD LOVE tiger barbs. i had about a dozen in a 55, added a 4-5 inch JD... wont last more then a day or two! lol

ok i have loachs in there that are 3" are she leave them alone
 
I'd hold off until you get the tank since you have 4 cichlids that will be around 9" each.
 
I am not getting them intill i know if i am getting a bigger tank...

yep. My JD ate 11 tiger barbs in about 3 weeks in a 90 gallon. The jd was only 4". Good call to hold off.
 
Haha, was going to say the barbs sound like Jack Dempsey food. Seems like everyone beat me to the punch. Hope you get that bigger tank, sounds like a decent stock and hope you get to keep them for life.
