Schooling fish for 55g

[heatherhribal]

What is your favorite schooling fish? I have 2 blue gouramis and 2 angelfish (still small) so something big enough that it won't be a meal! I would love to add a school of 6 or 8 of something active and colorful to my tank. Also in the tank 2 kuhli loaches (I plan on adding a few more) and 3 mollies. I also plan on adding a few cories. Thank you!!

Add 5 of one of these schooling fish:

-Denison barbs
-boesmani rainbows
-Congo tetras

The three of those are all bigger schooling fish!

+1 on the ones mentioned, especially congo tetras.

Ok. Thank you! I really like the rainbows! Any other ideas?

I like pentazona barbs quite a bit. They look very similar to tiger barbs but are actually quite peaceful. Black ruby barbs would work too. Praecox rainbows are another good option.
