Suggestions for a 95 litre corner tank?

    I've had one for a few years but a problem with a heater has decimated most of my stock, any suggestions for a new one?

    Temp is about 27 once i sort out heater issues, ph is below 7 and the tank has bogwood in it. Reasonably well planted with fake, real plants and java moss. Substrate is a kind of bulky gravel instead of sand so fish who like to dig wouldnt really be able to move it.

    Currently all i have left is: 1 cardinal, 1 harlequin and 1 black neon...i intend to bring the cardinals and harlequins back up to 6 of each, less sure on the black neon - im warier as he's already at least 6 years old (came with the tank, it's 2nd hand) and im thinking something different if he dies.

    Any ideas on what i could put in? I had an Angel (about 10-12 cm) there for 6 years but the heater problems killed him when i was in college :( I've been told not to put one in a tank of that size since then though so should i forget about replacing him?

    if you want colour variety then a shoal of cardinals with a couple of orangey red swordtails and a couple of black/white mollies gives a nice mix. Maybe throw in a couple of albino cories too.

    I'd start with 6 corys and a dozen tetras. That still leaves you with about 30% of stocking free for something else. You could up either of the shoals for a stunning effect or get a couple of centrepiece fish.

    Never was gone on corys, i've added 3 guppies and 5 harlequins since, adding 5 cardinals once i get some....could hardly go with Kribensis as the centrepiece? I've considered rams but i've never had great luck with them
