Tetras aren't my favorites but there are so many varieties. Peaceful barbs like gold, belted, cherries. Harlequins are good schoolers. As common as they are, many people haven't kept livebearers...they're colorful, peaceful, active. If you've kept cories, get loaches for the bottom or vice versa. Check around for different gouramis or maybe some sort of small cichlid as a centerpiece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
