What kinds of barbs?

My gold barbs are my favorite fish in the 55, and despite what Drew says they are NOT "goldfish"!!!

Funny you say that i just added 6 gold barbs yesterday. thats in addition to the 8 oddessa and 8 green tiger. (3 new of each) .i added the oddessa and tigers to even out the sexes as both were male dominated. i also have 5 pygmy corys . thinking im going to add 6 5 banded barbs. not sure though because i really want some Barbus denisonii. so im not sure about the 5banded barbs as the others will need room. i also just added 20 white cloud minnows. there neat looking and only cost me $5 for all of them so they are disposable. nice thing is they seem to hang out at the top of the tank, which is neat as the barbs dont. not even to eat. i made they mistake of training them to feed from the aquaclear filter stream . but they are a bottom dweller anyway.

I will add some pics this weekend. also there is 1 pick of the old (as of yesterday) tank. its not very good its mostly there because someone asked about night light options and i really like the Marina led, in my FW tanks.
