Stocking ideas

[WinksFish]

So, we have added a second tank for our tropical and made our 55 gallon tank a semi-agressive tank. I'm looking for a few more fish and not sure what to get.

2 - rainbow
8 - tiger barbs
3 - Otto's
4 - Cory's
1 - rainbow shark

Any ideas of other types of fish we could add and hoe many? We were thinking Congo tetra's, rams, or bleeding heart tetras but aren't to sure where to go. I'd like a little color, of possible

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I've read where they don't have to be in a school, is that not true? Would that be too much for our tank?

your tank is already fully stocked.
the tiger barbs, blue gouramis and red tail shark will fill up your tank space.

Don't add any new species. If you really wanted to add another fish - fill out the school of corydoras.
Or another 2 rainbows.

I agree. 4 gouramis take up a fair amount of tank space, so I don't thinkyou really have much more room. I would add a few more fish to your schools however.

Whoops! You are correct. I have no idea where I got 4 from! Thanks for the correction.

I still think you should fill out your schools and call it good however.
