I am planning on setting up a 55 gallon tank in the near future. Plan on doing fishless cycle and all. I already have 2 Serpae Tetras, 1 Black fin tetra, and a pleco(yes i know it will get too big, bought first reserched later :( ) Anyways, I would like to have colurful fish and a fairly active tank. What would be some suggestions on what fish could live happily with the fish I already have. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. (On a side note, I really like gouramis and rainbow shark, but I am not sure if they can with these, also, can angel fish go in this tank.)

get some angels, koi angels have some color. a couple more tetras to add to your school and maybe a small school of another kind of fish like some danios or the less aggressive barbs. then get some of the larger cories for the bottom.

cool, thanks for the ideas guys. Would the rainbow shark fit in with tetras and angels though? I just love the way they look, they're such a pretty fish.
