My favorite fish question - help me with stocking please.

I have a no plants-no light-no heater tank. 75liters (80x35x35cm). Originally built for corydoras but I absolutely suck at keeping them alive. Lesson learnt, never trying them again, two years and so many deaths are enough.

I have around 15-20 golden white cloud mountain minnows in this tank so it is close to almost fully stocked. Some shrimp, some snails, some bamboo shrimp (though they are pushing on year four). The temperature is around 22°C rarely below, in the summer it will go up to 26°C I think.

Options for stocking:
Trio of some cold water loving apistogramma
One male four females peacock gudgeon
Ten or so rosy/mango loaches
Another suggestion

Thank you

Nice tank. IMHO with 15-20 Tanichthys albonubes in the tank, I think you are already at a maximum level of livestock.
 
I think so too sometimes, even though they are recommended as a nanofish (which I believe is wrong, they have a big personality :)) I split the school and kept 10 normal colored ones in my 360liters so I could split these in half and keep just 10 here and add the rest to the other group in my other tank to avoid overstocking
