Original answer - "i don't know but try this. put a dead fighting fish in a tank that has albino tiger barbs OR tiger barbs and see if the fish attack or eat the dead fish."

I have an albino tiger barb, and through my research and experience I can almost guarantee that a fighting fish and an albino tiger barb will absolutely not do. Scientists don't know why tiger barbs have an unusual fin nipping behavior. I emphasize this especially if the fighting fish is the Siamese kind. Long fins+tiger barbs=bad choice. My albino even nipped the other albinos' fins, which proved fatal. Don't take your chances.
