New tank

The tank is 100cm long, 40cm wide and 50cm high( not to sure what that is in cm). I’ll have a look at them, I am looking for some new fish in a month. I quite like having lots of different varieties of fish( so keeping one of a type of fish appeals as long as they aren’t agressibe.) and I think an oddball might be quite cool, any other suggestions for fish who would work with a ph of 7.9, 24 degrees tank, highish water flow.
I really doubt they would fight with the rams, they’re pretty small. I think if you had distinct territories and lots of rock work and driftwood, it would be a non issue and very interesting. I’ll see if I can find a video of my gudgeon tank I used to have
This was my tank with gudgeons, it was a 20 hex with jungle Val and frogbit
Here’s my 20 hex with gudgeons, I sold this a few months ago, but it worked well and i think you could something similar without the rams being an issue
Peacock gudgeons

They look cool and will be something to consider as my stocking according to aquadvisor is only 80percent, with the addition of 20 blue emperor tetras and 10 sawbwa rasboras. I might go for sawbwas or might leave them out if I find another cool species that i definitely want to get. I’ll consider the peacock gudgeons but if not I’ll look into getting them for my next tank. The heater is currently set at 24 degrees if/when I get the emperors should I move it up to 25 or make to big of an impact on the danios?
I don’t think one degree makes much of a difference, but I keep most of my tropical species around 83f. I don’t know if there’s really a benefit, but I’ve always had good luck at that temp so I roll with it.
If you can't find sawbwa, you might consider killifish - they also look very spectacular in an aquarium.They look cool and will be something to consider as my stocking according to aquadvisor is only 80percent, with the addition of 20 blue emperor tetras and 10 sawbwa rasboras.

I decided to get 6 sterbai corydorras, now I want to get a/some gouramis not sure what species would be good but I’m a bit concerned about iridovirus so want a gourami that is less prone to it. I’m not going to get sawba rasboras anymore but rummynose and emperor tetras are still something I’m considering.
