I currently have a 55 gallon fresh water tank, good filtration, heater, two inches of gravel, decor, and two live plants (plan for more), oh and a bubble curtain with a decor that has bubbles.
6 female fancy guppies
5 long fin zebra danio
6 tiger barbs
1 small clown pleco

I am new to the hobby. I am looking for opinions. I am not adding more fish yet this is just so I know. I would like to get a center piece fish, a couple corys or other bottom feeders, maybe a brislenose pleco since clown won't eat too much algae, and maybe a few other fish.

Yes cycled. With weekly water changes
 
Rainbows, killies, tetras, barbs, rasboras, some of the more docile and peaceful cichlids, gouramis, peacock eels, a single rainbow shark or RTBS, cories, glass cats...the list can go on forever. How about choosing some fish and then we can go from there? :)
 
i guess i am just asking where i am at on the stocking gage, in my opinion its pretty empty right now.
 
Yeah, you certainly seem to have some fish room left in there.:) Its hard to say exactly how much space you have left since fish of similar sizes can have dramatically different space requirements. Why don't you google a few of the species bruins listed to get an idea of what direction you want to go in.
