WY> My barbs, however, are psychos.
As weird as this sounds, you minimize the barb problem by adding some more.  
Usually, if there are enough barbs, they will go psycho with each other, but 
leave the other fish alone.  BTW, do you barbs have a habit of resting nose 
down behind the heater?  Mine have always done this regardless of what type 
of barb they were, and regardless of the tank size and condition.  I've 
always wondered if anyone else noticed this behavior.
