I say you should be ok but the problem that I see is that you need to get atleast 5 of them and you dont have that much room left in your tank. I would get rid of a pair of GBRs or move them to another tank and then get 5 Tiger Barbs. But I would not get them with the current tank stock.

like the others say im worried about the GBR. you can try it but be sure to have hiding places for the GBR and the other fish in there, with my past experience with tiger barbs is they are either the most peacefull fish or little devils, or if they are in a group of like 6-7 they are usualy content with each other and vent their aggression to eachother.

Good idea...and if you get a 75 gal., you can check out Maha's DIY thread on the stand he built for his. EDIT: It's in his thread in the Freshwater General Discussion section.
