First freshwater tank! 55g

[hollertronix]

Just an update, definitely opted out of the gourami. I now have the following inhabitants:
7x Tiger Barb
2x Clown Loach
2x Hifin Plecostamus
1x Rainbow Shark
1x Spotted African Leaf fish

I ended up going far from my original stocking list. Anyone have suggestions of other tankmates that might add a little more excitement or character to the tank in a couple weeks?

How bout a nice big school of some species of Tetra? I've always been a fan of tight schooling fish.

Well, your plecos and loaches are going to outgrow that tank, soo....

RazzleFish - your avatar freaks me out. I can't look at it. My wife can't keep her eyes off it though. She won't tell me why.

Oh sorry, off topic. Yeah the pleco will outgrow the tank eventually (I don't know about the loaches), but you can usually find a new home for him and get another when the time comes, or upgrade the tank
