Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hey guys, I've got a 10gal aquarium with my little buddy Derp, a Yellow Lab who's around 1.5 inches long. I've been doing some research on adding 3 tiger barbs to the mix, and from what I've read, it seems like some people have had success with this combo. Apparently, the barbs are pretty speedy and can usually get away from any predators. But I figured it's always a good idea to get some extra opinions from you guys.

So, what do you think - should I go for it or not? Why?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. Tiger barbs can get pretty big and are super active, so they'd need a lot more space than a 10-gallon can offer. Plus, they should be in a shoal, which would be tough in a tank that size. And let's not forget about the potential issues with your Yellow Lab, Derp - it's just not a great combo.
