Thinking of adding more schooling fish to my 55 gallon?
Currently, in my well established 55 gallon community tank i have
5 striped kuhli loaches for my bottom dwelling fish, a pearl gourami (full grown 6") , a rescued honey sunset gourami (about 2"), and a school of 6 red minor tetras. I love my red minors, and was thinking perhaps i might want to add some more of those or maybe some different schooling fish? I like the color/interesting fins of the minors.
I have a 110 gallon filter, a volcano aerator, and another aerator( a bright pink coral ) haha i couldn't resist! My tank is heavily planted with plastic and silk plants with a few caves here and there for hiding places. The tank stays in the range of 74-76 degrees Fahrenheit, with all water parameters right where they should be.
What would you guys suggest for/ add to this tank for interesting schooling fish?
All input is appreciated thank you :)
oh! i almost forgot about my live bearers , i have 1 female platy, 3 female swords and 1 male platy and sword.
I don't really want any more, too many babies.

Rummynose tetras.. I LOVE them lol plus they really like to stick together. Unlike neon tetras they kinda drift apart.

well any kinds of tetras you like, but i like buenos aires tetras they reach from 2" and you should get atleast 5 or 6. you could add more serpae tetra (red minor). 5 skirt tetra. 5 red blue tetra. and 5 tiger barbs all schooling fish i listed.
