So a friend if mines dad has just had a stroke and has offered me the fish in his tank, they are 3 five banded barbs, 5 harlequin rasbora, a albino plec baby and a dwarf gourami.
My tank is 55gal planted with caves and bogwood and shaded hiding areas along with floating plants. Ie never kept the fish offered and they are currently in a holding tank before I get heads up to keep or regime which would be a shame. My tank has got:
Few nerite snails
Breeding pair of bristlenose and few young
Breeding pair of angels
Breeding trio of rosy barbs
4 swordtails and like a dozen small fry hiding about
5 platys
A pair of lyretail mollies
7 Venezuelan orange cories less then inch size each still young .
Oh and 6 neon tetras and 5 endler pairs
 
They all seem to be peaceful species, though the angels might pick on the gourami later in life, and all those fry may be picked off by other fish. The only thing is that the numbers are on the small side especially with the barbs. Not sure you would be able to keep them all in the proper amounts, it's too late in the night for me to do math.
