Just about to fishless cycle my 65 gallon tank moderately planted Asian biotope.
Thinking of stocking with a school of tiger barbs and school of zebra danios. Any advice on which I should stock first and how long to wait.

Also would like to add loaches or other bottom feeder. Tank is fairly deep 2ft so I want some on bottom. What can I get a few of? Yo yo loaches seem an option. Clowns will end up too big for the tank and red tail shark are solitary. Would this selection work ok?

Last question - how fast do the barbs and danios get to full size? Does about 7 of each and maybe 3 loaches as ultimate stocking seem ok?
 
Do the Danios or Loaches First.....always least aggressive First.
