55G, planted with Aponogenta, a few swords, and a few other plants that I dont know what they are. I have caves built from petrified wood.
My stock consist of 1RTBS, 3 labs(still small), 3 queen loaches, 1 paradise fish, and 4 cherry barbs.
I'm gonna get some sort of pleco and was looking for suggestions on anything else. Maybe something that is a surface swimmer.

With the paradise fish I wouldn't suggest any gouramis...the only other surface fish I can think of are hatchetfish.

Otherwise maybe sort of tetra, rasbora, or peaceful barb that would complement the colors of your paradisefish and cherries.

Since you already have loaches a BN plec would be a nice addition. If you don't find your queens very active you could increase their number as well.

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

maybe a golden barb. or flagfish.

would RaibowFish be O.K. I was also thinking about Bala sharks as long as they don't grow too fast, I could keep them for awhile until I graduate into a larger thank. I really want something of decent size that stays midle and upper tank. Also took a look @ African Butterfly fish but knew nothing about them. The paradise fish and barbs are not mainstays As i Have other tanks I can move them into. I dont want to do gouramis as I have some in one of my tanks as well.

You can add a school of Tetra's, but be carefull with the Labs.
