Debating Whether To Add More Fishies....

[mislisa]

Hey everyone, I've been going back and forth on deciding whether or not to add more fish to my tank (in my sig) now that i've rehomed my rams and increased the number of cardinals. I am considering adding a couple bolivian Rams (if i ever see any in the lfs) as well as a few silver or marble hatchets, and am wanting some fresh opinions. I'm open to other suggestions as well, so feel free to suggest other fish.
I'm just a tad concerned with overstocking, and am being a bit undecided! Any help greatly appreciated!

Maybe some gouramis? Sparkling gouramis are small, but very beautiful and bonus: they croak! There are bigger gouramis like pearls or moonlight gouramis.
Maybe some beautiful dwarf cichlids? Cockatoo cichlids or Agassazi cichlids are beautiful
How 'bout a boatload of loaches?

I've had gouramis suggested before, but i've heard that they can be aggressive towards each other...

I like the dwarf cichlids, and would love having some, but i have the corys and kuhlis and am concerned about possible aggression issues. I don't want to overcrowd the bottom.

I love my loaches, but with 13, i feel as though i already have a boat load... especially at feeding time!!

Yet they occupy the same area as Bolivian rams, which you're considering.

Apistos, just in my experience, were far more peaceful than my current always-at-loggerheads Bolivian rams. Many apistos also do well in a little trio or harem of a male and a few females. Threy never batted an eyelid at my corys.

But as you do have a lot going on on the bottom, what about a group of honey gouramis? Again, a male and two or three females makes a good group, very peaceful fish.
