Interesting small fish ideas...

[Fat Homer]

Just re-scaped my 60G and started stocking it so far with

4 small gobies (2 per species)
6 Halfbeaks
10 celestial pearl danios
4 otos

So looking for suggestions of what else to add that stays small and not aggressive???

Thinking of adding a couple of black morpho tetras if i can find some, but what else is there you would possibly add???

Glass catfish or smaller loaches like botia sidthimunki

ive always been a fan of neon/cardinal tetras if you get a
school of 30+. i knew someone who kept over 150 in a
125gal, it was awesome to watch

Glass cats not so sure about, the loaches i've considered... but guess im looking for rarer more exotic fish, but thanks

I used to do schools of 50 - 80 neon tetras in my 200G tank as feeders for my eels... so in the 60 looking for something a little different

Glass bloodfin tetras are pretty. I've got five of them in my 400ltr and find myself watching their little group more often than the others. They're a beautiful tetra that tend to occupy the top area of the tank, very active and even in a small group I see little to no aggression from them towards each other or other tank mates.

Those actually look kind of interesting considering i dont think i've seen them around often and remind me almost of an ablino red tail shark...

Might look a little large next to my other fish, but definitely something for me to consider especially if they like upper levels...

I was going to say celestial pearl danios, but you've got it covered! They really are gorgeous little things and SO cool if you've got a good sized group of them. I started with 8 of them 3 or so years ago and can only find 4 today. Still really cool though.

I'll second the cardinal tetra recommendation above! They're more versatile than neons. Neons do better in cool water in the mid-high 60F range. Almost everyone gets that wrong with them. Cardinals do best in our typical tropical temps.

A small group of black or regular Khuli Loaches.

I don't have suggestions as to what else to add just yet but I would most definitely add more otos. Most places you read says a small group of 6 or so is the minimum but I would say its more like a solid dozen would be MY recommended minimum. They act very different when put in large groups as opposed to smaller groups. Far more outgoing and interesting to watch.

in my 75g when it was a community tank I kept 30 with a school of 40 peppered cories and 1m 3f pearl gouramis

Have you considered Stiphodon Gobies. The key for them is they feed off of bio-film or objects with a little algae allowed to grow on them. Very entertaining little gobies especially the males lol.
