Tankmates - 125 with clown loaches

[Arden]

I have a just set up a 125

I currently have

3 clown loches
7 hatchetfish
2 veiled angelfish
1 rainbowshark
3 neon tertras
1 common pleco


I am adding two more clowns for a total of five

What I'm looking for is advice on a nice midlevel schooling group... something that will make the tank look less "empty" in the middle.. any suggestions?

I highly recommend rainbowfish (Melanotaenia splendida in my case). I have a group of 6 of them in with my clowns. They work well as dithers, but also have interesting and fun personalities of their own. They don't get too big, usually around 4 inches, and they will generally leave all the other fish alone if there are enough of them in the tank.
Mine actually school with my 6 white-skirt tetras, which are significantly smaller than the rainbows.

What kind of rainbows do you have?

[DainBramage1991]

Melanotaenia splendida is the species name. The store sold them to me as "Australian Rainbowfish", which is technically correct but not very specific.

Here's a link for more info about them:
