55 gallon semi aggressive stocking

[DeeFlavored]

What would be a nice semi aggressive stocking list for a planted 55 gallon tank that includes tiger barbs?

 

[Malupoo]

Tiger barbs, red tail black shark and yoyo loaches.

If you used some other kinds of loaches you could even say it's Thailand biotope.

Kribs could be a nice option.

Or rainbow shark, but not together with red tail.

How many of each fish could i have?

 

[Malupoo]

I would do.

12 tiger barbs. ( can mix in some moss green barb if you like)
1x red tail shark.
6 yoyo loaches
Bristle nose if you have the bioload as well. They aren't that aggressive but they are bulletproof and will fight back.

Could this setup work?

1 x Albino Bristlenose Pleco
1 x Bristlenose Pleco
1 x Opaline Gourami
6 x Tiger Barbs
6 x Albino Tiger Barbs
6 x Green Barbs

That many barbs they shouldn't nip. But be prepared ou may need to move the gourami. Their feelers can become a target.
