Hey, so I have a 55 gallon tank that needs some fish. I previously had goldfish in there, but sold them due to them outgrowing the tank. I want a peaceful community tank. I would like at least two types of small schooling fish. I would also prefer if they were a little hardy, but it's not necessary. Thanks in advance
 
Candy Cane tetras, Head and Tail lights, Brass Tetras, and Black Phantoms Tetras.
Harlequin Rasboras, Cherry Barbs, and Snake-Skin Barbs.

Some of my favorites
 
How does this sound? ~15 Zebra Danios, ~15 Cherry Barbs, ~10 Corys

IMO, very do-able. You could even add a few Giant Danios for some size-variety.
 
Perfect stock. Both fish are hardy, aggressive swimmers, and great to watch! Slowly add 5~ giant danios (peaceful, not like zebras) for size like tanker said, if ya want.
