6 Cory Hasbrosus
1 Paradise Fish
6 or so rainbows or pencilfish

Cant really think of anything else.. shrimp? lol

6 corydoras Habrosus
1 Paradise Fish
2 Cherry Barbs

6 corydoras Habrosus
1 Paradise Fish
6 Smaller Tetras, I would suggest Black Neons or Rummies (if you like them)


Rainbows sound good too, as long as they are small. I would suggest (instead of the Tetras) maybe 4 Dwarf Rainbows or 4 Threadfins.

Rummynose Tetra are very interesting & colourful fish. Maybe you can fit 6 in there with regular water changes, as you already have a Paradise fish & the Corydoras.

Problem with rummies is that they are active schoolers, and they are also moderate-sized tetras. These guys can top an inch and a half (3.8 cm) in length and swim around more than other tetras. They'd appreciate more room, in my opinion. Seems like most or all of the torpedo-shaped tetras are fairly active (ex. blue tetras).

Sneaky_Pete, maybe try something new that you've never kept before and that isn't so common? One of the cooler pencilfish species like Nannostomus mortenthaleri would be a good project.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Yeah, I have a good sized school of rummynoses in my 75g already.
Sirbooks, youre right I would like to choose something I havent had before.
I had a pair of Beckfords Pencils before, but that was when I was new to fishkeeping, and they didnt make it through the cycle, but I really liked them.
I was thinking of doing either Pencilfish,
or Threadfin Rainbows.
I worry though that the Paradise fish would nip the threadfins fins, though she hasnt nipped the guppys yet.
Say I did go for pencilfish, either Beckford's or another, how many should I go with?

What about Sparkling Gouramis?
Would they be ok with the Paradise fish,
or is that a recipe for disaster?
