Mid Dweller Suggestions For 50 Gallon!

[joyboy]

I want a pair of peaceful mid dwellers for my 50 gallon tank. I got dwarf gouramis but they seem too small to be the main fish. I was thinking about pearl gouramis but since i already got dwarf gouramis, i wanted something different.
Already residing in the tank are
10 rummynose tetras
10 cardinal tetras
5 kuhli loach
2 dwarf gouramis
2 julii cory (soon to be 2 more)
2 sterbai cory (soon to be 2 more)
2 guppies

By the time you have added another 5-10 Kuhli Loaches and 4-8 of each of your Corydoras species, I think you are about done... Unless you choose to rehome a group or groups to make room for others.

You could - since you don't seem too keen on them - give your dwarf Gouramis back to the LFS. That would give you room for a fish around 4" long or two more similarly sized fish to the dwarf Gouramis. The priorities for your tank are to bolster your cories. Personally, I'd have 5 of each (just to be sure) and have your two schools of tetras as the main flare for your tank.

Just my 2 cents

I am going to suggest something similar to what I have already read by NobodyoftheGoat. Fill out your cories numbers and stop for awhile. If you find that you still want more after that, it will be soon enough to come back looking for advice. You have relatively tiny cory numbers that will definitely benefit by adding a few more of each. I actually ignore most advice that I get here and seldom stop short of 10 of a particular cory species. On TFF the accepted number is merely about 6 of each but I find that number too optimistic. In my own experience, I will stop at no less than 10 cories of each species if I can possibly accommodate that many in my tank. If I cannot, I consider about 6 of each species a bare minimum, not an optimum number.
