Yes you can. Tigre Barbs are wonderful, active schooling fish. They get their bad reputation as fin nippers because they are so often kept in small groups (< 6-8). In larger schools - 12 or more - they tend to interact more with each other than the other fish in the tank. Just remember that this is a community tank and any apisto fry are fair game to the barbs.
