Gouramis are fun, colorful, peaceful fish that would work well in that tank along with some Yo-yo (not Clown) Loaches. Yo-yos stay about 4 inches long and will spend the entire day playing tag (harmless fun that doesn't involve nipping) with the other Yo-yos. They are best kept in groups of 5+. Good schooling fish are Tetras, Barbs, Danios, Rasboras, and Rainbow Fish. Email me at nosoop4u@cox.net if you have any questions about compatibility or any ideas. Good luck!

A good ground-feeder catfish for the bottom and some fish for the top and bottom.
Zebra Diano' s are a very hearty type of fish. Mine have all lasted through many struggling tank times.

well. u need at least 2 types of schooling fish and they must be in a school. after that, look for where they like to swim, top bottom or middle, this way your fish tank will look it has more life and it will b better to watch

Look for fish that like the bottom/middle and the top.
Ihave cat fish on the bottom
Gouramis in the middle
And other danios and guppies on top.
It balances out

anything you like
It depends what you want to go with
In stores they are divided in categories, like
tropical, semiagressive, agressive and coldwater
So whatever you like, but you have to choose fish in the same category
Like any goldfish are coldwater, so any fish that is in the coldwater category you can put together
Cicklids are aggressive fish
Guppies, platys, swordtails, mollies,.. are all tropicals and non aggressive
Can't think of any semiagressive fish right now
But I hope that helps
Good luck

One cichlid, as they are extrememly territorial. you can put more than one, but make sure you have several bungalows for them, each!!!
A couple of Bala Sharks, a pleco (they will grow large in such a tank), Maybe an Upside Down Catfish?
