I have a 15 gallon well established tank that is heavily planted...I had some otocinclus but they just died.

I am definitely going to get some more oto's but I don't know what else to put in.... I want some type of community tank maybe with some type of schooling fish..

I have debated stocking: Somekind of tetras, killifish, blue rams or some type of dwarf cichlid...

What should I do?

Thanks for the suggestions
 
Are you looking for workers, something that will be in the background, or a centerpiece?

For a centerpiece, the rams are great. If you want something that will add a bit of movement to the tank, I would go with 5 cherry barbs--they stay small, are great with plants, will help with some kinds of algae, and won't detract from the plants, IMO.
 
Harlequin rasboras and/or rummynose tetras in nice schools look great with plants in my opinion. I think the rams are also a good suggestion, or possibly a dwarf gourami.

I have killifish and they are great looking too, always a good choice.

Cardinal tetras look good too.
 
What kind of killifish do you have Captain?

I saw some bluefin killifish online that looked pretty cool...
