what are the dimensions of a 46 bowfront? 4 cons will be fine for a while but as they get to around 3-4" you may have to go down to only 1 pair. when breeding, their territory is huge, and will only get bigger as they get bigger. I had a pair take half of a 75 gallon tank as their territory and they were only around 3".

cons may or may not eat feeders. if they did they'd only be able to eat small feeders like guppies. if you put the tiger barbs in the tank first and then add the cons and don't feed them feeders you should be able to keep the cons and barbs together. I'd go with more like 10 tiger barbs though instead of just 6.

well im not quite sure of the demensions
