Upgraded To A 29 Gallon- Should I Add Another School?

[Parkbench]

I moved my 8 cherry barbs, 6 slate (concolor) cories, and 4 nerite snails to a new 29 gallon tank.

I had planned to add a couple more cherry barbs but is there room for a little school of zebra danios or something else fun?

Yep, there's a lot of space, you could probably add 2 more cherry barbs and 10 more zebra danios.

I agree. You could also up your shoal of cories to 8-10.

Wow!!! Woo hoo!

Any suggestions other than zebra danios?

Harlequin rasboras, Neon Tetras, Glofish tetras, Black Neon tetras, Lemon Tetras, Celebes Rainbowfish...

A centerpiece like a Dwarf GouramI or 3-4x Honey Gouramis would work. You can also add 1-2x dwarf cichlids and a BN pleco?

Rosy/fathead barbs, neon tetras, lamp/red eye tetras etc.

Excellent! Thanks

I'd add black neon tetras as the next school. And definitely up the group of cories to 8-10.

I found another two concolor (slate) corydoras and I have two more ordered - that will take my corys up to 10. I'm striking out finding harlequin rasboras which are my first choice for my next school of 10 or so. Are they worth waiting for? What about rummynose tetras? What do ya think? Harlequin Rasboras vs Rummynose Tetras?

(reminder: there are also 8 cherry barbs in this 29 gallon)

Can your LFS special order the rasboras? You'd be fine adding rummy noses instead, IMO. They're one of my favorite schooling fish.
