I have owned Tiger barbs for years.  I have noticed that their behavior
depends on their age.  The young ones ( < 1 year old ) are much more aggressive
and like to chase and nip fins.  Older ones seem to mellow out and are
perfectly good community fish.  They are also better in a group.  They
tend to chase each other.  Helps to keep them well fed too.
