What kind of fish do you recommend?
Okay I'm stuck on two options for what kinds of fish i'm going to put into my 12 gallon, heavily planted tank.
Option One: Four regular Tiger Barbs, two Albino/Green Tiger Barbs(what ever is available), and three Peppered Cories.
Option Two: Three Regular Tiger Barbs, six Neon/Cardinal Tetras, three Peppered Cories.
What do you prefer or what would you change? Water changes are always weekly at about 30%. The tank is also very mature so cycling isn't going to play a role.

Definitely NOT two. Scrap the tetras, or scrap the barbs. That's a very small tank, and the tiger barbs need to be in a good-sized group to quell their boisterous nature. Adult tiger barbs are sizable, at about 3". I would say go with either the barbs, or 8 neon/cardinal tetras.

If it is possible I would put in Mollies, because they are extremely easy to take care of. Guppies are fairly simple too. I do not know anything about the kinds you listed. Also, make sure none of the fish in the tanks you are buying the fish from are sick, they die quickly.
