if they are breeding non. the tiger barbs might get killed but they might not. If the parents see the tiger barbs eating them they will try to kill them. I think you could have 10 to 12 of them. That tank would look nice. you will see a lot of gill flareing.

4 firemonths sounds too much, if u get 2, then 6 tiger barbs should be good.

With 2 Fire Mouth, you can get 6-8 Tiger Barbs, but with 4 Fire Mouth, it's better not to get any.
