Cycling - Which fish to add next?
So when I set up my aquarium (Friday, ~2.5 weeks ago) originally with new gravel/sand, established plants and filter media from a previously established tank, 15-20gal of established water with 30-35gal of new water w/ dechlorinator...
Tank Stats: 55 gal high tank Rena XP2 filter w/ DIY CO2 inline diffusor on return Spray Bar and intake tubes on seperate ends heater keeping tank 78* constant 11 Danios (4 Zebra, 4 Pearl, 3 Purple Passion) Coralife CF 36" 96 watt Light Started with 2 Zebra Danios after a week of cycling w/ filter,plants, old/new water then added the others over the course of last week. Tank seems to be doing well for only 2 weeks in, slight ammonia spikes after adding the new fish, but everything seems to be right about 0 otherwise. I'm going to give it another week or so with the current setup, maybe add a few more plants. But here's what all this is working up too: Here's what I'm looking to eventually stock the tank with, of these which of these would be the best addidtion for 3 weeks in as far as hardiness/resilliance to the cycling fluctuations: -Blue/Paradise/Honey Gourami ( 3-4 ) -Torpedo/Albino Tiger Barbs ( 6-8 ) -Cory Cats ( 4-6 ) -Kuhlis ( 4-6 ) -German Blue Rams (2 - I plan on getting these near last) -Possibly: 2 Discus or Angelfish or other large fish |

You may have some trouble with the Barbs and Gouramis. The Gouramis will be chasing each other around. Barbs are just aggressive in general from what I have seen in other people's tanks. It makes it difficult to feed the other fish sometimes because they are so quick.
