Hmm heres something you can try that may help.

Again, I would give up the RTS, hes gonna reach 6 inches and get mean, and in only a 45gal tank this isnt much room for the other fish to get away.

Once you ditch the RTS, Grab 5 more rosey barbs so they will school, the group will hopefully distract your bully barb, and his agression should subside somewhat.

After that, I would say green light on the cories! :thumbsup:

I'm with Greg.

Don' add any cories until you have the RTS in the bigger tank, and once you have some cories would be lovely. With what you've got you could even go with 2 schools of 2 different varieties if you liked. 6 of one type and 6 of another. They prefer groups of 6 or more as you probably know. :)
