Help! Which fish do I keep, if any?

Maybe keep the two albino cory cat fish... I'd need to get them more buddies? How big would they get?

(Sorry, could do my own research, but there's just so much to think about all at once!)
 
And I am open to having a tank that was semi-aggressive or whatever... well, I am not sure what kinds of fish I would like to have, besides of course having a variety and fish that would be 'fun to watch'. Plus can't spend too much $.

Which are the glass barbs?
to do a semi-aggressive tank, you could keep the glass barbs, giant danios, and congo tetras making sure they get buddies to school with. Possibly the gold gourami as well. The pleco (algae eater) would go well

Corys will get to be ~ 2.5in so you could easily get a few more.

The Pleco will live up to 15 yrs, size =12-18in. I have no idea on the cost to feed them as I don't own a full grown one, only a juv. dwarf pleco.
 
picture 1 -bottom left i'm almost positive is a golden julie(julidochromis ornatus), it's a tanganyikan cichlid that grows to @3".The fish on the bottom right looks to me like a JD but it is kind of hard to tell.I would bet on the golden julie though.
 
So, if I want to keep the pleco then I have to add only semi-agressive in the future? And could choose to keep one or more of these types I already have: glass barbs, giant danios, congo tetras? If they get buddies.

If I want to go with non-aggressive fish, then can really only keep the cory cats I guess?

Any input on how I should choose between the two types?
 
The skinny striped one is the a giant danio and the one with the fancy fins is a male congo tetra. They really are more interesting in a group. You could check out the local fish stores and see which of your species they carry, then up the number and rehome the others
The pleco should get along fine with just about any other fish.
 
Yes, that's what I am leaning towards -- keep pleco, giant danios, congo tetras. What about keeping others (glass barbs, loaches, cory cats)? I don't know which are the glass barbs, loaches. The white w/yellow is definitely out right?
 
I am almost positive that in pic 1 the fish on the bottom left is a golden julie(julidochromis ornatus).It is a tanganyikan cichlid that grows to @ 3
" long. The one on the bottom Right appears to be a JD but I am not certain.
 
Yes you could keep all the fish you mentioned bearing in mind the cories also prefer being in groups. The cichlid may be OK depending on how hard your water is but ideally I would rehome it; maybe you can get some store credit.
By the way there is noting wrong with the congo. Their fins always look like that.
