HELP with my tank!

New tank stocking advice please

Ok How many times has this been asked? Help me with ideas on what to stock in my tank. I'm at the end of a fishless cycle with a 72 bow tank. Plastic plants for now ( many ) two good pieces of drift wood, some good size rocks. I really want lots of color and schooling fish. I was thinking about rainbow fish, say 3 or four Boesemani and 3 or 4 Praecox. I like the Dwarf Neon too. Maybe 10 glo fish. As far as bottom feeders 5 cory aeneus cats. Can i throw in a otto or two to eat any algea or will the corys take care of that.
Other fish I like are rummy nose and blood fin, but not sure if they will fit in. I got a good size tank to have lots of room to stock, but want the idea of more little fish schooling or hanging out ( under 3 inches )
:thm:
thanks

i'm not trying to be rude, and i'm not angry at you, but please make your own thread. it's not good to ask for advice on another persons thread. edit: thank you.

no butterfly fish, they are very aggressive and need mucho swimming space. 20G minimum, all by their lonesome. that is also overstocked, he could not do "a couple rams" in a 10G. he could, however, do 6 panda cories, (those ones you reccomended i wouldn't do in a 10G, not enough space.) 6 cardinals, and 1 ram or apisto. (dwarf aggasizs cichlid)

He has a 20 gallon.

sorry, I forgot. but still no ABF. he could do 2 more tetras, and the cories you reccomended.

Hi,

Thats fine, I forget things like that too. By the way I never said to get a ABF.
