The 55 gallon in my bedroom will most likely be setup this weekend, the filter an AC110 is already cycled and has been for around 5 weeks. I would like to put a school of barbs in the tank but how limited will I be to adding other fish with them, I've never had Barbs before and I just didn't want to just be limited to aggressive fish. Would I still be able to put an angelfish, gourami, cory's, or any other fish such as these in with them without the Barbs tearing them up?, I have a spotted Raphael that I thought would be nice to put into the tank and then maybe a redtailed shark but I'm not stuck on the idea of the red tailed shark yet.

Kingmed,
If you 'check' my barb primer, checker barbs would fit your bill. Beautiful, especially when they grow up, and passive. May nibble plants a bit if you have them, meaning you should have a vegetative as well as staple pellets to feed them.
