The cherry barb stays small at around 1.5'' and is suitable for those who only have small tanks. Some say they do well in a trio of one male and two females, as they don't really shoal that much. I don't know if this is true, but I've had 2 males and 4 females so the females aren't always being chased by the same male. However, the 1m/2f ratio is a good guide to go by.
The cherry barb can be a fussy eater and somewhat shy in my experience, but maybe it was because I didn't have any live plants, which I think the cherries would appreciate. They aren't as active as tiger or rosy barbs, but are also more peaceful and less likely to nip at other fish.
