The only loach I'd mix with cories are kuhli loaches or horse-faced loaches. Botiidae loaches are far too boisterous and will not mix well with kuhlis as well so if you want those, then avoid cories and kuhlis.
I wouldn't mix loaches and cories - one or the other is the way to go. I believe the zebra loach you have pictured stays relatively small in size (maybe 4 in.) and would go well in your tank - just make sure you get a group of them. Other than that, I would suggest adding a mate for your Bolivian Ram, getting a pair of German Blue Rams or Gold Rams, getting a large school of rummy nose and/or cardinal tetras (rummies school better IMO). If you wanted something that stayed more toward the top, perhaps a single pearl gourami? I believe they are a peaceful gourami but I have not kept them myself. I think that would be a pretty awesome and definitely peaceful tank.
you guys are awsome!! I am going to find them loaches, and they will be the only ground fish in my 55. I have to find them, there awsome!!!!!!! Maybe you all can help me locate them?

Much as I love kribs, if they decide to breed, setting up their territory will be very hard on any fish in the bottom or middle levels of the tank. They are gorgeous fish but do not tolerate other fish in their territory during mating or even preparations to mate. This means your cories would be at serious risk and most other fish would need to stay high up in the tank.
I've never kept Bolivians, but I don't think it's a good idea (based on what others have experienced) to mix them with GBRs.
what are GBR ?
Yeah, aren't they awsome!!! I have been calling all over the place, no one has them
woah what is that and where can i get one!:drool: its beutiful!
Hummmmm never seen any here. how long do they live and will they go with the zebra loack?
