Peceful tropical tank mates?
Hello. I will be getting a fifty gallon tropical freshwater tank and i wanted cichlids but now im leaning more towards peaceful schooling fish instead. I like rummy nose tetras and zebra danios.. anyways, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on fish for me. Thanks. Any help is appreciated!

I would get some dwarf cichlids, which are peaceful, and some tetras.
I'd go with 2 female german blue rams, one male german blue ram, 8 rummy nose tetras, 8 cardinal or lemon tetras, and 8 julii cory cats.
Other peaceful dwarf cichlids are apistos (cockatoo apistos look nice), bolivian rams, golden rams, electric blue rams, kirbs, and keyhole cichlids (which technically aren't dwarf, but they are small and peaceful).
You may want to look into cardinal, x-ray, lemon, and rummy nose tetras. As well as different types of cory cat.
These are all just suggestions, you'd have to make sure the fish you pick are compatible.
Rule out cichlids. Neon or other tetras are very peaceful . Zebra danios is good but very active and some time nip the fins of other fishes.
Otocinclus Catfish, Cory Catfish, Bristlenose Plecostomus, Rainbowfish, etc..
