I have a 50 gal FW, and its current occupants are 1 cloud gourami (just a pearly white color), 7 glass fish, and 4 panda corry's. I'd like to add more color to the tank, but I don't know what to get. I really like my corry's and the glass fish they are a lot of fun to watch. Anywho...I just want some fish to add a little color to my tank. Any suggestions... :)
 
I would avoid barbs with gouramis those feelers are too much of a target. Angel fish would work, rams would work, a school of tetras would work. Rainbow fish would be a viable option as well.
 
To add more color without much fuss to your tank I would reccomend a school of True Rummynose Tetra (about 3 - 4 )
They're a magnicifant color, and are easy to care for.
 
Along those lines, I like Serpaes. I've heard that they tend to be a bit nippy, but in a school of 6-8, they seem to confine their aggression among themselves. . . .Anyway, I've had gourami in there with them and nary a problem.
 
I have long fined cherry barbs and they a very very pretty and colorfull and they don't bother my gouramis. Just keep them in bigger groups I have 6 of them.
 
if you don't mind spending some money, get some boesmani or turquoise rainbows
