Red Tailed Black Shark - Fantastic fish

thanks but are you sure that sharks are bottom dwellers?
when i had some they were mainly swimming around the middle of the tank

 

[@ombomb]

Bottom dwellers that will sometimes wonder around the middle regions of the tank.

o, ok
thanks
any more ideas?

no bottom dwelling fish will stay on the bottom forever.
hmm not a loach or a catfish
how about kribs or rams?

 

[grumpymole]

hmmmm.... kribs look nice
already got some gold rams- beutifull fishys

I was thinking kribs, but was also worried about them fighting it out with the rams if you get a mating pair. How about an african wood shrimp or two?

 

[CluelessScot]

I would go with some shrimp? or maybe a even a frog? I would be worried about the kibs because the chances of finding a mating pair are like 90% lol

I always liked catfish but you need to be carful with what you get as many get huge! yeps...

How about dwarf cichlids? I think they stay mostly at the bottom.

Corys are catfish.

How about some lovely wood / bamboo shrimp ?
They should be ok with the tetras, but the gourami's might be too large and nippy, so it just depends which tank you're talking about.
Here's mine

Edit: oops, how did I miss you said it's for your 80 gallon. If so, just check if the shrimp will be ok with the gourami's - I'm not sure.
