i am thinking about giving away my fish except for my 7 glolite tetras and i might keep my one australian rainbowfish. i have a 30 gallon tank with heater and filter and light. i want to have all fish of about teh size of my glolites, what are some suggestions. i want for teh small fish to kind of school together and swim all around, right now my glolites stay near teh bottom and are really afraid when the other fish come near them(i have a dwarf gourami[main problem], 2 guppies[minor problem] on top of my glolites and rainbowfish)
what are some good sepcies to add to my tank that are glolite tetra size and will be pretty to look at and interesting to watch?i would say i am an intermidiate fish keeper.
much appreciated!

what would be some good bottom feeders. would 2 small corys and 3-4 otos be good, on top of my snail and African dwarf frog?

Well, you could just get more glolights.
I'd get some bottom feeders too, maybe about 3 cory catfish or a small group of otocinclus cats. Kuhlii loaches are longer, but thin and are interesting.
Other midwater species could be rasboras, neons, pencil fish, pristella tetras, emporer tetra (a little larger), or cherry barbs.
If you want a surface fish, marble hatchets or an upside down catfish.
Depending on your temperature, killifish.
For non-fish, African dwarf frog, ghost shrimp or other freshwater filter-feeding shrimp, apple snails.
Not all species are schooling, but it's nice to have 1-2 "showy" specimens.

Neon Tetras are about the sme size and they go perfectly in a school of 6 or more. They also add some more color to your tank.

Neon Tetras and Cherry Barbs will actually school with other fish.

Ditto DAGIM, those are probably your best choices for fish similar in size to the glow lights and also schooling.
