tough choice... i'd have to go with the first choice though.
not a big fan of albino corys.
i like the white cloud mountain minnows though, i'd go with them and the peppered corys personally, just my opinion though.

Hi Chrs

I like the White Cloud Mountain Minnow and either C. paleatus (peppered cory) or C. aeneus (bronze or albino) tank, but without the betta. The wcmms and the corys have similar temperature (cool) and water movement (current) requirements, but the betta will do best in warm, calm water.

Cory's are ideally kept in groups of 6 as well, as are barbs (I believe.)

I'd go for this setup:

1 x Honey Gourami
6 x Cherry Barb
5 x Oto's
A few shrimp
