Tank needs fish, but what?

I've had a swap, the guppies have moved from there small tank into a larger one & the other fish have lost there big tank for the guppies old one, however its a longer tank so they can school much better.

In the tank there is:

10x Neon Tetra

3x Rocket Pencil

10-13 WCMM's (tank is at 25'c so I hope its ok :-? , I've seen them sold as tropical fish in pet shops. There colours are much brighter in tropical water anyway).

2x Harlequins

1x Clown Loach

What should I get more of?, I know I should get more harlequins and/or Clown Loachs but they cost a lot.

I would consider trading the Harlequins + some cash, for a school of other fish. PM/E-mail me!

Sorry, I don't have any of the fish you are interested in, so can't help there, but how big is your tank? In your first post you call it a small tank, so can you fit anything more in there?

I thought clown loaches got pretty big? And liked to be in schools?

Apart from the loach, you don't seem to have any bottom dwelling fish (although I don't know what rocket pencils are?). Maybe you could look at some corydoras. We have panda cories, which stay smaller than most, and we have recently added two more, so we now have five in total. We have noticed that in a bigger group they are much braver and much more playful and interesting to watch. In my opinion, you are better to keep larger schools of a smaller variety of fish, as the more you have, the more interesting they become.

It would really help if you gave details about your tank (dimensions, volume, planted or not etc), as that will give a better idea of what you could consider.
