How I should stock my planted tank!?

[irishdaisy]

Hi I'm starting to plan how I'm going to stock my tank( when my friend takes all my guppy fry ). Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated. I like tiger barbs but don't know what else they can go with. Prob I will have more of a community tank with a few schools. here are some fish I like ; hatchets,ottos ,pristella tetra, black phantom tetra , bleeding heart tetra runny nose tetra. What combination of fish do you think would be good for a planted tank and look good with eachother!?

Maybe something like one of these options (but not exactly 5 of each)

I think this list sounds good if I do proper maintenance in tank bi-weekly

I'm keeping the guppies ! Lol they are growing nicely and have lots of bright colours .. But I really need to redecorate the tank I'm not liking the overcrowded look at all.
