I'd recommend at least 6 corries, of a specie for them to feel at ease, and at least 8 tiger barbs to avoid them getting agressive towards your corries. Then just stick to the 1 inch / gallon rule at the most, if you can keep it under that limit all the better.

the one inch per gallon is only for slinder bodied fish like neon tetras neither corys or barbs fit this description. If you are only haveing corys and barbs get about 6 barbs and 4-6 corys. You don't want to over do it, barbs like to taste of corys if they run low on food and corys will fight for food if they are low on food.

Actually, you need 3 cories, not two. They are very social :)
I would get 6 cories, and 5 barbs, starting out. Maybe add more later. (perhaps some cherry barbs, or another variety of cory)

I would do 6 cories, and 6-8 barbs. If you decide to get other fish, keep in mind that Barbs can get aggressive and they are fin nippers if they are not kept in large groups.
