no, even though youll probably ask me to get em for ya the cons will kill them 100% |

try jardini,
a big pieceful fish |

tinfoils are hardier , or spanner barbs |

Yes I think you will be ok, I use danios or odessa barbs. tigers should be ok - go for at least 6 though. In a 4 foot tank they should be fine unless you have particularly big or aggressive pairs. |

i think larger tiger barbs with non breeding convicts be ok but breeding convicts and any fish small than them (or even bigger) and you taking your chances
some of these things are just trial and error, i have seen some bizaare "not from a text book!" combinations in my time,
as for arrowana and jardini with convicts... |

have you decided what to do yet? i think it sounds like a decent option if the barbs are a fair size |
