Hmm if you want colour, its probably best to stick to the livebearers like platys, guppys, swordtails etc- as far as i am aware most killifish are semi-agressive or agressive fish and i don't really know enough on gudgeons to really say.
The ghost catfish would be better once you have a cooler tank for your dojo loaches, as these catfish do very well at the cooler tropical temps also etc
.
The tiger barbs will limit your stocking options to a certain extent- there are a lot of colourful types of gourami's for example that could go in your tank if you got some tall dense planting in it, however tiger barbs have such a reputation for nipping the "feelers" on gourami's i wouldn't feel comfortable advising any gourami's for your tank with the tiger barbs in it.
Actually! I've just remembered Rams, they are an unusually peaceful type of small cichlid, they are rather peaceful fish and should be good for your tank if you add some dense planting to it;

Rummynose tetras would be fine, just get at least 8 of them if you do get any so they can shoal properly, although i definately wouldn't advise discus (too specialised and needy fish, you really need to devote a large established planted tank to them to have any real success, most community fish aren't suitable as tankmates for them).

great thread but I have a question,
what would be the best fish to cycle a tank, say 125gallon... I hate using goldfish as all they do is **** and eat.

Got some shots of the current primary/guppy/first tank. Some of them are not fantastic, but I don't have the best camera and my fish refuse to stop moving.

I'm still pretty sure they're Guppies anyway. On the Ram, I was under the impression that there is always an aggressive streak. They are beautiful fish, don't get me wrong, But will I lose any other fish? Thanks everyone.
