Perhaps I have just been lucky but my results with Tiger Barbs have been very 
good.  A little aggressive but for the last year or so they have been very 
healthy.  My only problems have occurred when I try to get the tank PH up to 
7.0.  If I just leave it alone at 6.7 they do fine.  They tend to behave 
better in a group of 6 or so since they can establish there own "pecking 
order" and tend to leave the other fish alone.
