Hey everyone.
I am going to start stocking my 26 gallon planted tank in about 2 weeks, and I wanted to make a stocking plan before I did.
I did have a 14 gallon BioCube with 4 Corydoras, 2 Platies, and 5 Harlequin Rasboras. But, I got back from a 2 week vacation early this week and noticed that my fish all had Ick and Popeye. They seemed alright, and so I tried to boost up the temperature and I gave them Ick Meds. (I was planning to get Popeye Meds today), but I guess I was to late. Within last night and today all of them died. Since I already had those fish, I made a stocking plan that included them (It wasn't my favorite but I knew it had to work for them). This was it.

8 Harlequin Rasboras
6 Rummynose Tetras
2 Platies (Centerpiece)
6 Corydoras
1 Bristlenose Pleco

Since it wasn't really my favorite, and now, looking at it positively, I'm not completely limited to the fish, and could start from scratch. So, since I'm completely open now, it would be great if you guys could help me out with a stocking plan. The only things I'm pikki on is that I would like some algae eaters, and a centerpiece fish.

Thanks.
