That was pretty much what I did, and is still the setup I have now just added bolivian rams to the mix. And have had one opaline Gourami in there along with albino Cory, emerald Cory, and peppered Cory. Also have bristle nose pleco, 3 Amano shrimp, 3 nerite snails and assassin snails. It is by far the tank I have to put least effort into, everyone works together in it and my levels are generally always perfect. This is the tank I pulled the crypts and swords out of that I sent you. Also have Java, cpl fern variety, tiger Lotus, couple different anubais, and some amazing plant varieties I bought on here from a few people. It started as straight Amazon and has kind of morphed into its own thing over time.I like the idea of several different tetras. I'll probably start with 8-10 of 2 different species. Then decide on going maybe 20 of each of the 2 or maybe 8-10 for 4 or 5 tetras. Also thinking a 10 or so group of Cory cats and a pair of Rams.

Rummies and Bleeding Hearts are a good choice to begin with.Rummy and bleeding hearts are probably the two I'll start with. Maybe Black skirts but not sure. Something to contrast the different shape and sizes. Also the area they will occupy like you said. The local rams are GBRs and I do prefer their color. Kribs are really cool. Never owned the before but plenty of Africans and Paired SA. I do have to dig deeper on them though. I don't know too much about them.
