What Would Be Good To Add?

[necava01]

i have two rio negro dwarf cichlids and im trying to figure out what else i should add

ph- 6.0
temp- 25 c
dh- 7

its a 20 gal (24x15x14) with a topfin power 20, and a tetra whisper 20i
its planted, but not too heavily right now, with lots of rocks and bogwood.

##150### says im only 30 percent stocked...

and i would like some sort of fish that will shoal or be very active
and i would like some sort of bottom feeder.

Rummy nose are the best shoalers i have ever kept, they all keep together, the same direction/speed etc.

Bottom feeders, panda corys?

ive worked out a couple different options..
option 1
1 rio negro
3 otos
12 cherry barbs

option 2
1 rio negro
6 panda corys
14 rummynose or serpae tetras

Option 1 would be much less biotope (because the barbs are not south american) , plus the ottos are a right pain to keep alive.

Option 2 is what i would go with with the Rummys...they are prettier, the shoal better and they stay smaller than Serpaes (don't like those at all, very nippy)
