okay guys, need suggestions from all the native fish gurus on here.....just started a asian barb biotope tank here, need suggestions on what more i can add to this tank
got my hands on almost full grown batch of 8 P. Filamentosus
7 P. Denisonni barbs (juveniles, about 2 inch)
6 Danio Roseus
5 Neon Rosy barbs (fell is love with this guys and have helped through cycling process)

They are in a 55G right now, but the plan is eventually to house them in a 75G or a 90G |

You can add Odessa barbs and few loaches but the tank would be crowded. |

| You will still end up with A species tank. The adult filamentous will eagerly finish of the rest of the small fish |
