Yes they will mix just fine . But a Bala Shark will grow up to 8in. What size is your tank?

Actually, Bala Sharks will grow to 12" in length or more, and ultimately will need a 200+ gallon tank for long-term maintenance.

But to answer the question, Bala Sharks are not a predatory species and will mix fine with Tiger Barbs provided the tank is large enough.

EDIT: Also, Bala Sharks are much too large and boisterous to be kept with Ropefish, if you were planning on putting them in the same tank.
