I found that one male and 3 female cherry barbs make a great combonation

I had bought 3 juvenile barbs, (they haddent shown their colors yet) and ended up with 3 females, so I went out and bough a male, he doesnt chase the females around all the time, he is sort of an outcast, but he will still chase the females around (not constantly)

You may want to get a few more females as to distribute the male among the females instead of stressing out one poor fish.
