What would be good stocking options for a 27 gallon hexagon tank (fully cycled- pH7.0). I really like German Rams, Silver Hatchets, and dwarf gouramis. The problem is that the tank is really tall and always looks empty. Angels would probably do well, but I am sort of "ehh" on how they look. Perhaps many zebra danios and neon tetras could look nice as well.

A pair of Germany Rams would be good. I have cherry barbs and black neon tetras in with mine so neon tetras should go with them fine. Get a bottom dwelling fish to like a kuhli loach or some sort or cory. Also a pleco that stays small.

Just have to make sure you have enough filtration.

What are the dimensions of the tank? That will really help with stocking questions. Keep in mind german rams are bottom dwellers, if you end up with a breeding pair you will expirience alot of aggression. Hatchets are a top dwelling fish so they would work in a taller tank like that pretty well granted there is enough room for a school of them.

Dimensions are 18L x 15D x 24H
Could I get away with keeping 2 Corys (peppered) in this tank? I was also thinking perhaps a few different schooling tetras.(prestilla, cardinals etc) This way the tank looks full, if they school at different levels
