These are the fish I m looking at right now. Rosy,cuming's,cherry, and tiger barbs. Zebra danios, and Rasboras. neon and serpae tetras. Cory cats..
these are the fish Im thinking of stocking my 38g thank with.(not all of them of course) I need ideas for fish combos for my tank.

if you want dwarf gouramis, get only one... you could dare to get 2 but they are VERY territorial...

#1 Avoid the dwarf guorami for now. There's another discussion around here somewhere that DGs are being infected by an awful wasting disease that pretty much can't be fought.
#2, White clouds are temperate, and so prefer unheated tanks. They're hardy, so they'll do okay, but they would do excellent in a temperate tank.

All of the fish you're looking at are schooling fish, so you are going to be limited to two or three types (though you might be able to mix some to get mixed schools).
I would suggest cories (though you'll want to add them last. They prefer really stable water) for cleaning the substrate.
Maybe cherry barbs, black neons, and cories (That's what I'd pick off of that list, at least)

Fish Addict

From that list I have in my 39g cories, danios, platies, and black neons, and they have been, well... GREAT!

You know Im thinking of going with 5 cherry barbs, 5 tiger barbs,5 zebra danios, and 2-3 corys. What do you guys think?

you wont be dissapointed with the cherry barbs, they are really active little fish and a blast to watch! if you go with that setup though, you might be overstocking your tank a little, maybe you should drop either the tiger barbs or zebra danios and just get more corys. I would go with the tiger barbs becuase from what ive heard they can be pretty darn nasty at times. or you could get more cherry barbs!
