Hi all. I am currently in the cycling stages (very well seeded) of our new 45 gallon bow front. We are running 2 Fluval C4 filters, 2 inch natural pea gravel and very light plants- some java moss and such.
So we have 5 panda and one albino corys. I am thinking to add

6-8 little tetras (neon,cardinal whoever catches my eye etc)
6-8 Rummy nose tetra
8 zebra Danios
few apple snails

Possibly Gourami?
What do you think and do you have any other peaceful suggestions.
 
Also please note we WILL NOT be adding the new fish until this tank has completely settled :) Ammonia and Nitrates 0. These 6 little fish we have in this uncycled tank weren't planned for and it is going to be a lot of water changing for us to keep them safe and comfortable.
 
I'd switch your albino cory for another panda as they should be kept in groups of 6+ of their own type.
Glad you're keeping an eye on the water parameters & will be waiting til it's safe to add more fish. Remember to do it slowly c:
 
I wouldn't do the zebra danios as they are more temperate than tropical, plus having so many schools can look a bit messy (though nothing wrong with liking multiple schools!).
 
Some gourami would be lovely centerpiece fish. Honeys are the most peaceful I've heard, and they're quite pretty!
Another lovely centerpiece fish could be peacock gudgeons :wub: They're small, colorful, and peaceful. (Though may eat shrimp)
 
Have any pics of the tank? :)
 
yeah that would ork maybe try a group of 8 corydoras or dwarf chain loaches of your choice or 12 khuli loaches/corydoras pygmaes habrosus or hastatus or a group of 6 yo yo loaches
