37 Gallon Tank Stocking Ideas?

[Mrhedley]

Hey, I am looking for fish to stock in my 37 Gal freshwater tank. I already have one in their a Glofish just to start the cycle. I am looking for a few fish that get "bigger" for that sized tank but also some small schooling fish that would mesh well with the big fish. Any Ideas? The only thing I am looking to avoid is guppies otherwise I am open to all ideas. It's also not a themed tank with a dark theme or a glofish tank it was just a fish I was given for free to start the cycle. I have tons of hiding spots in the aquarium with some fake plant life if that helps.

Here’s what I can think of off the top of my head
Option #1
It’s a little iffy because of the angel, but 1 angel fish and 6 tetras of your choice (make sure they aren’t known for fin nipping before choosing) and 6 corys of your choice
The angel could easily be substituted for 3 honey gourami

Option #2
The oddball tank.
4 Amazon puffers (make sure you have lots of snails if you go this route, they need them to file down their teeth)

Option #3
8 kuhli loaches, 8 tetras of your choice and a pair of Rams

Hey just curious,
I am looking for a colorful community tank and I have seen on other 37 gal stocking ideas that they put Rams with the angelfish. Do you recommend this or no? I just want to make sure it's not overcrowded and all the fish are thriving.

The combo isn’t bad but I think angels are a little iffy because they can be really peaceful but I’ve also heard of them terrorizing the tank
But over all I think an angel with a pair of rams and some tetras or rasboras aren’t a bad idea at all
