First planted tank, would like stocking recommendations and tips! 72gal. (Still cloudy) MIC

Hey Everyone,

It's a 72 Gal Tank Filter is a Fluval 405 so plenty of filter support

The current fish in there are feeder minnows to help with cycling, they will be fed to oscars at the end of this, or returned to pet store. Half of the filter media is from a used filter and some of the sand is from my oscar tank, so it should be a very fast and humane cycle.

I also have about 12 little fire and blue shrimp in there. Would be nice for them to survive, but I won't be too upset if they get eaten. I'd rather have nice fish than nice shrimp. There is also 1 tiny snail on the loose who got in through the christmas moss.

I will be moving my albino bristle nose pleco in here as well in a few days, he's not enjoying the oscar tank....

Other than that I'd like active community fish, fish that like to school together would be nice.

I'm thinking:

12+ Corys (all 1 breed). 8+ Kuhli Loaches 12+ Neon Tetras 8+ Tiger Barbs 4 German Blue Rams. Blue Gourami???

I do really want the corys and Kuhli loaches. Everything else I am completely open to suggestions and not fixed on. Wouldn't mind a couple of bigger "feature" fish. Hence the thought of Gouramis (also a blue Goruami was my first fish ever when I was 14years old).

TL:DR Would like a tank that's really fun to watch, with active community fish.
