Default Fish Suggestions

Okay, so I am giving most of my fish to my LFS, and I need some suggestions for some new ones. I also need some help on what fish to give to the LFS, but I am keeping the Honey Gouramis, they are to special to give away.

[EDIT] All of the fish I have are in my signature

Err, umm, just give away what you don't like anymore. Like me with my tetras. (Although they're not gone yet.) Since I've never had gouramis, I don't know what would go well with them. Maybe a couple ghost shrimp?

How big do the Honey's get?

I would say put some type of schooling fish with the gourami's. Do u like any particular type of schoolers?

I would keep the cory. Maybe add one more as a friend. They will keep the bottom a little more tidy.

Look for something different, and there is a reason for each fish.

Hillstream Loach- Because I didn't do much reserch when I got it, so I thought it would handle my algae problem, but it didn't.

Corys- I can never keep the new ones alive when I get them, I always kill them somehow. I love them, only if I could keep them alive.

Powder Blue Gouramis- These guys eat all of the food in my tank before any of my other fish get it, so I have to overfeed, which has lead to the worm problem in my tank.

The Honeys are smaller (2.5") and more clean looking then Dwarf Gouramis(3"- 3.5")

I like Tetras for schoolers, not a big fan of barbs though...

I would love to get some Rummy-Nose Tetras or some Emperor Tetras, but my LFSs don't normally carry them...

I think I read somewhere that rummy-nose are sensitive to water conditions. don't know that by experience though.
What about some red eye tetra or white skirts? They are some of the bigger tetras.
