stocking a 55g

[DylFunk]

Hi, I'm in the process of cycling my 55g and have just got a pretty good idea of what im going to put in it from a previous post, i just want to have some guys check it over and make sure it seems ok.

6 khuli loaches
7 zebra danios
9 cardinal tetras
3 guppies
1 bristlenose catfish

I'm not sure if i have any more room left to add anything, but if i do i would be looking for something over 4" (since none of mine will be getting any larger than that really except maybe the khulis but they're skinny ) and something that is colorful. I'm using an emperor 400 so I've got some extra filtration.

Heres my suggestion:

6 kuhlie loaches
10 zebra danios
15 cardinal tetras
bristlenose
dwarf gourami pair or 3 betta females or betta male (but not if you get guppys)

I would leave guppys to the store because they do better in different water than the others. Of course this depends on your water parameters

Thought with my suggestions fishes your aquarium would be quite full. So maybe it would be better just take ~10 cardinals and ~8 danios and see how much they burden the tank before taking more.
