I'd get at least a couple Cory cats....they'll help clean your gravel and they're peaceful with all fish.

Other than that, I don't know it's really up to you and what you like personally. Just make sure they are compatible and you don't overstock.

How about a couple Long-fin Rosy Barbs...really pretty and peaceful unlike thier cousins the Tiger Barbs.

Long fin rosy barbs, are they difficult to find at a place like Petsmart? I've heard of and seen the 'regular' rosy barbs, but I haven't heard of the long fins.

Well, that's the problem I have; I find so much conflicting info on what the petstore says is compatible vs. my fish species books vs. fellow forum members' experience.

Know what I mean? I don't have any particular fish in mind, but I'm not as crazy about cories as a lot of people are.

Serpaes are pretty nippy tetras, so I wouldn't put anything long finned in the tank with them. I would increase the school of Serpaes to 8 and add 6 Cories for the bottom.
