The cube tanks can be great for the right species of fish. I have 2 biocube tanks, one saltwater and one freshwater... love them both! In a fully planted cube, a school of neons or cardinal tetras looks quite amazing, and the smaller species of cory cats can do very well in there too. Small fish that stay under 2 inches are best suited for the cubes due to the shape, but also watching territories helps with stocking too. Working with mid and upper level dwelling fish and limiting bottom feeders helps a lot.

Deborah, first off, I and welcome to Tropical Fish Keeping; I see you recently joined.

Second, Dawn has given you good advice, and I concur.

Third, we have a Fish Profiles section on this forum, you can go there by clicking on "Tropical Fish Profiles", second from the left in the blue bar across the top. Also in all posts, if the name of a fish or plant that is in our profiles is replicated exactly, whether common name or scientific, the name will appear shaded and you can click on that to see the profile.

We have a lot of fish profiles and are adding more, so this is a good resource right here on the forum. Each profile contains information on water parameters, numbers, tank size, fish size, compatibility, and background.

Byron.

Do you have plans to move the guppies out of the tank before adding the barbs? I think tiger barbs would likely shred those poor guppies.

oh yes. They are already in their own tank.
