can I get some cheery barbs to go into my tank w/ some danio's? There is also a redtail shark & two blue gouramis.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I'm assuming you mean Cherry Barbs.


Cherry barbs should be fine with danios. Both are peaceful hardy fish. (even though danios are very active)

What size tank is that, that you have 2 blue gouramis and a RTBS???

Here is a [link=link to the cherry barb]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/cherry.xml" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] profile.
Keep dense vegetation and some floating plants in the tank. The Cherry Barb is a loner and will hide from other Cherry Barbs in these plants.
so 2-3 should be good so long as the plants are provided.

Cherry barbs do well in pairs; I'd go with either 2 or 4.
