I was just given a 10 gallon aquarium for my classroom! One of the other biology teachers had 1 lone goldfish that died this last week. He was going to take it down and store it, but I said I would take it. I switched it from gravel to sand, but mixed a few handfuls of tank gravel in with the sand to seed the sand with BB. I'm using the same filter, heater, decor, plants, etc that was initially in there. Do I still need to do a fishless cycle, or should it be ok?

I want to do a tight school of something. I was thinking harlequin rasboras, rummy nose, maybe something else? I want to do a single species and maybe include a cleanup fish/shrimp/snail. I do want the fish to swim around some, but dont want anything as distractingly spastic as danios, or tiger barbs. Suggestions? If you could give me a little info on whatever you suggest (# to get, temperament, anything special they need) that would be great. Thanks.
 
Well, I have decided to pull all my danios out of my big tank at home and put them into this tank at school. That way I can get a few more corys in the big tank and my lone cory will have some friends. Everyone wins and I dont have to buy more fish.
