What tropical fish to get next?

[omcdonnell]

I have a 50 gallon freshwater tank, I'm looking to get a mid level swimming new type of fish, and get about 3-4 of them (schooling) . I've had the tank for about a year now all fish are healthy. So far I have 6 neon tetras, 6 guppies, 3 barbs, 3 golden tetra's(bright neon green), 3 Cory catfish, and a loach. What would you recommend? I only have a petsmart and petco near me.

I say 6 rummynose tetra

 

[serena00]

Also recommend adding 3 barbs as they are all schoolers

 

[omcdonnell]

oh my bad i forgot to add i also have 3 tiger barbs in there

 

[serena00]

Yes I'm saying you should add 3 more. Because they are schoolers. Just 3 is not enough.

To me ur pretty under stocked. I would bump up the barbs to at least 6. Same with Cory cats.

I say add 5 boesemani rainbows, and bump the tetras, barbs, and cory cats up to 6.

I would increase the size of all your current shoals before adding anything else.
