Hello everyone,

I'm maybe thinking of starting up a 55 gallon tank if I can, but not really sure what to stock in it.

I really like the look of boesemani rainbowfish, and since they need to school, maybe about 6 or 7 of them. I also really like the look of pearl gouramis, and they are reportedly peaceful, but not sure if they'd get along with the rainbows.

Also, I'd be interested in a smaller schooling fish (maybe a type of tetra or rasbora) and maybe some corys.

Any recommendations? I'm open to lots of possibilities :D
 
How about:

6 Boesmani
10 harlequin rasboras
1 honey gourami
7 corydora or like 12 Pygmy Cory.

I always wonder why everyone says one honey gourami. I have 2, and they love to be together. I think one would be very sad without the other. they are completely peaceful and gentle. These are great fish.
 
Rainbow fish are fun
The dart to the top of the water to eat their flakes and end up splashing me. Lol. Boesmani and emeralds are my favorites.
