Could I do this in a 55 gallon:
-2 blue acaras
-6 tiger barbs
-2 bristlenose pl*cos
and maybe some tetras like 3 silver dollars or something else

Would this be ok?

keep in mind that tiger barbs are fin nippers.

i'd only put tigers in with tiger barbs, but thats me.

Stocking wise it would be fine but I am not to sure about the tiger barbs with acaras, you might want to ask a cichlid person if the acaras would get nipped. You could choose maybe a more peaceful tetra or something.
