Discuss (if this is what you get, I would suggest adding some Vals)
I would also consider a skool of corys

is that a Kuhli I see in the last pic?

Also I know you said no tetras but 15 Rummynose would be wonderful in there.

Sweet background. Info?

Some barbs will nip at plants.

UMM

If you want big fish you can get Angelfish,Blue/gold gourami ,discus,rainbow sharks

school of Clown loaches would do great too,but some people claimed that they nip at plants just for fun,i have 4 of them in my 100 gal and they just fine wid my plants

So true, Rummynose tetras is the best schooling fish iv ever seen. I have 11 in my tank and they are always swimming together when bigger fish approach them.Or at night when they have already taken dinner you will see all ov them swimming in school at the back most of the time,its so beautiful to watch.:p
