Sounds more like they are fighting. Two tiger barbs is not a good idea. They are fairly aggressive, schooling fish. You should have at least six or eight to spread the aggression around and prevent them bullying each other, or the other fish in the tanks. If there is room in your aquarium, increasing the number of them will probably help.
i already have two tiger barbs but one is chasing and nudging the other one, i read you suppose to have 6 of them but i have a small tank is it better for me too have 3? or would it be better to have 2 or a different kind of fish with them?
Often they will display such behavior after mating.
It usually only hurts for the female. The male cat's penis has barbs on it in an attempt to keep out any rival sperm. When the mating finishes, the barbs rip out the flesh on the female. So yes, it does hurt.
Most Barbs - no. Tiger Barbs, Green Tiger Barbs and Ruby Barbs - a DEFINATE no! they will nip it to pieces! Other Barbs I'm not so sure about - do some research, but most Barbs - no!
