looking for new addition

[Boomer2244]

Hey AA peeps looking for some advise on a new tankmate or new school I'm not looking for any tetras or killis but something new

My current stock is
5- buenos aires tetras
5- prestella tetras
5- serpae tetras
5- zebra danios
4- corys
5- guppys
2- mollys
1- platy

More info: it's a 55g with a marineland penguin 400(rated for 80 gallons)

Maybe adding a Gourami?

Or a school of Rasbora's? Like the Bora Bora Rasbora, or Galaxy Rasbora?

Oh and I forgot my 4 cherry barbs.

Wouldn't the gourami get aggressive with all of the fast movement from the danios and buenos aires tetras?

You could do an angel or two, maybe a trio of apistos. Kribs or keyhole cichlids would work as well. A group of rainbow fish is a possibility as well.

Is it better with 2 females and 1 male apisto or it doesn't matter?

 

[rich311k]

One Male, two females in a 55 you could do 2 males and 3-4 females, should be enough room for two territories.

I like rainbows such as parkinson spendid. They look nice in any tropical tank.

I went to ny lfs today and they had Round Banded Barbs( which I've never heard of) but after doing some research I found out they are from the minnow family and are basically identical to the cherry barb and get the same size if I put 5 of them would I have room for 3 apistos or should I consider a school/schol of something else?
