Hi, How many HRPs are you going with? These guys are simply fancy convicts and tbh i wouldn't risk keeping anything like dwarf gouramis with them.

As for loaches you could go with B.Kubotai, B.Striata, or B.Almorhae

If they are like convicts, I'd be surprised if any of the fish listed would work long term. Some of the links I've seen seem to indicate they're not too bad though, so you may have luck.

Most of the botia species are good for tanks of that size with mildly aggressive to peaceful fish. If cories work, you'd probably be better off to just go with a larger group of cories rather than add a group of loaches.

The sun genus of loaches (Yasuhikotakia genus) are good for aggressive tanks. Things like skunk loaches can hold their own with most fish, but will harass the hell out of cories and other peaceful species.

about the Honduran red points have been told that they are no where near as aggressive as convicts and will not kill fish when they are mating like convicts do
and that they will be suitable with the gouramis (male is aggressive he nearlly killed neons so had to remove them) so i think him and the bolivians can handle the HDRs
the HDRs are only about 1-2" in length so will start off the babies of the tank , of course i will keep a close eye on them but mostly points to them being semi aggressive like rams during breeding time - even the person who i'm getting them off of has said they're not overly aggressive

we will wait and see and i have back up tank in shed for an emergency - if they do get aggressive until i can rehome them

thanks for the advice keeping with the corys i think
