I have just moved my other 55g tank from my gpas and wanna add something but don't know what.
Stocking:
3- buenos aires tetra
4-serpae tetra
3- platinum tetra
5- zebra danios
1- black finned glass fish(rescued from petco, was being kept with oscars and green terrors)
3-female betas
1- pearl gourmai
1- bristlenose plecos
5- corys
3- cats(2 spotted rephaels and 1 striped and spotted raphael)

i know that the groumai and betas don't normally mix but they've been in the same tank for over a year and are great together and I do plan on filling the schools to 5(since that's worked for me the entire life of this tank) but I wanna add something else is there anything I could add.(I know I should add to the schools b4 thinking about another addition but my stocking list has been like this for over a year, except the cats,) I'm looking for a mid-upper level swimmer my bottom is active an IMO full. Any suggestions?
 
Idk if u have room but Glass catfish!!
And also hatchet fish are top dwellers that will add to the upper level. They're jumpers tho so u gotta have a good lid that covers the top good
 
I don't know the exact name, but what about those catfish that swim upside down? They hang out at the top as far as I understand.
 
ive never owned them but from what ive seen, they make frequent trips to the top but still are bottom dwellers.

Hehe...you mean upside down catfish
 
I would fill out that school of glass catfish, having one in a tank is not a very good way to keep them because they are very timid fish so a school makes them feel secure.
 
once you fill out the schools youll be pretty much stocked
 
I wasn't planning on fill out the schools only cause my stocking has been like this for over a year and every1 has seemed very happy the whole time the only school I might fill out is the glassfish if any of my lfs get them in since it's kinda hard to see the 1 I have unless u look really close. That's y I wanted to add something different.

you relly should get them up to six
 
The only way I can do that is if I order them from my lfs and if I do that I have to buy a min of 6 fish and I don't do online ordering for anything so the only way I can fill em out is if the lfs carrys them. That's another reason I wanted to keep the stock the way it is
 
Maybe another groumai would work? Honey or opiline or something other than the gold and blue ones
