I got an 50G 80cm L x 40cm W x 65 cm Depth tank and I'm trying to decide what to stock it with. I hate tanks that are growed so I don't want to add too many types of fish.

I definitely adding my Bristol nose pleco and getting it a mate as soon as I know what gender it is. For know it's in my guppy fry tank since it's a only around 1inch.

I'm considering adding about 10-15 Long fin Leopard Dinios and maybe a pair of Dwarf Gouramis. I'm still having a hard time deciding.

I love Tiger barbs and Kribensis too.

If Dwarf Gouramis won't work what other top dwelling fish can I add.
 
Setup a planted tank and get a few corydoras species for bottom dwellers, a pack of danios (your choice of your favorite danio species), and a pair Kribensis then try to breed Kribensis :). Tiger barbs are fun but they always pick on each other too much and that would lead to injuries, infection. I'm not recommend any type of pleco in community tank cause they are waste produce machine more than helpful but it's your choice.
