I have the following in my 56 gallon tank:

2 Jewels
2 Salvinis
2 Convicts
2 Raphael Cats

The Jewels and Salvinis are breeding. I was wondering if I can add something towards the top of the tank, maybe like a small school of some fish?

I'd consider that tank pretty stocked, considering how territorial its residents are. I can't think of a schooling species robust enough to handle them but small enough to be a smart addition.

I am gonna try and resist all temptations to go fishie shopping to the 4 local fish stores, and 2 stores outside of my area :%)

I do have to go buy a lid for this tank, I have 2 sheets of thermocol covering the top right now

Phew!!! The temptation to fill it with more fish is getting onto me.
