right now i have my first tank ever, a 20g with 2 rosy barbs 2 zebra danios 1 rasbora and 1 temporary senegal birchir. I was looking to add, prolly a couple of corys and maybe some more danios, barbs, or tetras. Can you give me some ideas on some awesome looking fish for this tank.
20g any additions?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the fish you have are schooling fish I'm pretty sure, so they will be happier if you get more of them.
alright i have had this tank for a really long time, and i used to have a school of about 4-5 of each but they have all died over the years, i have had this tank for 5+ years
well most community schooling fish while cheap have a lifespan 1-2 years max(ish). so you can continue restocking them (more rasboras poor guy) and some cories would be dandy
If they are really old and wont last much longer, you could probably start restocking with other fish while they peacefully live out the last of their days. At this point if you bought two more, it might be only a matter of months before you're back down to two again. I would eventually try to get the tank down to one bottom dwelling species, one mid-water schooling species and then maybe one centerpiece fish like a gourami or dwarf cichlid, but that's just me. I would do something like 8 or so cardinals, 6 small cories and a ram or apisto.
or you could do like 5 cardinals, 5 rasbora heteromorphus, 3-5 cories and then like an Apistogramma Bitaeniata or some other Apistogramma. they are small and beautiful!alright thanks guys and i like the idea of 8 or so school fish like the cardinals with 6 or so cories and a main centerpiece like a gourami, could i put like 2 gouramis in the tank, like two different species?
