Soon I hope to add more fish to my 55g. I have 9 head and tailight tetras, and 5 Corydoras sodalis. Before I add anything I will up the cories to 8. I plan to add angels eventually but before then I want to add another school of fish. I want some with color. Maybe Harlequin Rasboras..are they colorful and will they get big enough not to get ate by the angels? If I can find them I would like cardinals but I have neons already and really want something different. What other type of tetra is on the bigger side but is colorful? I have a few plants in there now. I will add lots more when I get a new strip light. Now I have 1 anubias nana and some wisteria which is barely making it.
I believe my tank is cycled. I still don't register ammonia or nitrite. But I only check twice a week. I have 5ppm nitrates. I had sponges from my already established AC filters and a lot of gravel from another aquarium.
Now I just need some suggestions of what to add next.

hello there,

harly should be fine with your angel. if you want something with a little more contrasting colour then go for a school of rummy nose tetras. maybe some black phantoms or some bleeding heart tetras.

well like u said cardinals are good, but i would just get the angels, and let them grow out.

You can get some small Angels & maybe a school of Rummynose Tetra's.
