I have a new 55 gallon tank and I would wondering what kind of fish I should put in there. Two 5 inch plecos came with the tank and I transferred 5 neon tetras and 5 blood tetras from my 20 gallon tank. Please help me decide what else I should put in. Thanks
 
Up both the tetras. They'll look even better in high numbers! I'd do some corydoras, another school of tetras and a cichlid of some kind. Either apistos or rams:). Then I would call it stocked!
 
Congrats on the new tank. :)
I agree with aquakai about getting a few more of each of those a tetras. I group of more like 10 would look really cool. :)
Corys are super fun too, but there are also some other neat bottom feeders if you don't like corys like kuhli loaches, and porthole catfish for example.
For a centerpiece, there are some very pretty gourami species like the moonlight gourami or the snakeskin gourami.
Just a heads up, if the plecos are common plecos, they will get too big that the tank, so you may want to consider a different home for them if you can. :)
