Chlorinated water needs to be treated before use in any fish tank.
It's not just chlorine that's added to tap water that's harmful, but chloramines as well.

What are the characteristics of the Tiger Barb fish?
The Tiger barb is a semi-aggressive species and they will form a social order. This social order can be extended to include other fish as well. The amount of fish that you keep in your aquarium depends on the size of your aquarium and the size of your fish when they are full grown. Injured fish should be quarantined since the Tiger barbs can attack wounded fish. Fish with large or exceptionally long and flowing fins are not recommended in the same aquarium with Tiger barbs. The Tiger barb will usually become mature enough to mate when it reaches a length of about 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters long, and this will typically happen when the fish is about seven weeks old. I have successfully mated Tiger barbs. To determine if Tiger barbs are male or female, the female Tiger barb is larger than the male which has a rounder belly and they have a distinctive red nose, and above the black part of his dorsal (back) fin you can see a red line that is characteristic of the Tiger barb. The dorsal fin of the female is mainly black. In most of the fishworld, the male is usually more colorful than the female. If you want to breed freshwater Tiger barbs in your aquarium, the best method is to keep a group of Tiger barbs together and let them form their own pairs. They are egglayers. Some fish like black mollies are livebearers. When egglaying fish are ready to spawn, they usually build a bubble or foamy safe place to lay their eggs. Because fish eat their own or other fish eggs, these foamy safeplaces should be in a breeding tank or a seperate tank. Removing the adult fish after spawning is really recommended

well, yes...as far as I know. Unless the tv set were to FALL. It is not good to hang a fish tank over a tv set, though, 'cause when you're adding water, the water could drip on the tv and that'd be BAD.
