I have just made a setup for beginers who are just starting with fish that aren't a livebearers. Get a 30 gallon+ and stock it with a large school of green tiger barbs, 2 large school of your choice of these tetras) And 3 of 2 types of swordtails.
(Redeye tetras, glowlight tetras, bloodfin tetras, and bunos aires tetras,) Put in driftwood, sand and whatever plants fit your lighting.

Nearly, it's a good idea but some things are missing. What exactly is a "large" school. Some people may take it as upwards of a dozen, when in reality a 30 gallon tank shouldn't have more than 8 of each species and that's pushing it.

Also, all of those fish make one area of the tank their preferred area. What about the top and bottom of the tank, they'd seem void of activity with 3 schools all swimming in the middle.

I forgot to add the cories. And sorry its a 40+ gallon.
