help stock my new tank!

[JeremyXXXX]

Found an odd sized tank for cheap off of CL a few weeks ago and wanted to get some opinions on what I should stock with it and which direction to go.

The tank is a 15 gallon "designer" tank measuring 13" x 13" x 25"

Wanted to get a tall piece of driftwood and some sand decor wise but not sure what would be a good species to keep in this tank. I do have a 125 gallon to put them in if they grow too large but am not looking to do so want something that can live in this tank for life.

A school of 8 Cardinal Tetras.

Looks to be an ideal tank for a custom 3D background with an incorporated designer sand waterfall!! I would think a couple groups of small schooling fish would be nice, perhaps a group that stays at mid level, a group that stays near the top and a few bottom dwellers. One nice piece of tall wood would definately look good centered in there....

Like a school of red daniios or green tiger barbs

That is too small for any fast schooling fish IMO. My first recommendation would be some fancy shrimp.

i'd go for 1 dwarf gourami, american flag fish, or a group of peacock gudgeons + khuli loaches, and some large shrimp with a heavily planted tank.

i'd do a small sw reef tank with a couple clowns and a small seahorse or something and use it as a display tank in the living room or something
