Sub Tropical Stocking?

Hi, i would like some more fish in my 90L (signature) i was thinking some panda garras but not sure on a subtropical centerpiece fish, any ideas? it has a sand substrate but im going to add quite a few rocks and some more plants.
Cheers

What temperature are you keeping that 90l tank at?

What temperature are you keeping that 90l tank at?

about 20C-22C

Lloyd, anything below 22C looks very low to me for a cory catfish species, while the other fish listed in that tank sig are "true" sub-tropicals. Perhaps others can comment further on cory temps?

For a final "centrepiece" group, how about two male and four female Celebes Rainbowfish (or keep at least twice as many females than males)?

Some corys do like a temperature below 22C, take the Corydoras barbatus, they have a minimum temp of 16C, which is basically coldwater territory. As with all fish, there are always exceptions.

yeah i know 22C is usually the lowest but i thought i would try it a little lower and they seem to be doing fine so far but keeping a close eye on them. i might move them to my other tank if they dont like it where its abit warmer. would the rainbows be able to cope with high current in the tank?
Thanks

Dont think they like strong currents, my shoal of Celebes Rainbowfish were pretty chilled and they were weak and slow swimmers (unlike other rainbowfish). I remember watching them just getting blown by the current
