Would 10 be a good number of tiger barbs for a 20 high? They will be the only fish in the tank. Thanks.

A 20 high isn't adequate for these very active fish, a 3 foot long tank(30g) would be a minimum.

I have to agree with John. Tiger barbs are very active fish, and need more space than a 20 tall can provide. You might want to look at tetras instead.

Look into tetras in stead tigers would prefer wide and long to HIGH. There active fish and i would reccomend anything less than a 30gallno
