A Different Fish

[Orodreth]

Hey, I am planning what fish I will have in my new 155 litre (82x44x58cm) and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a more 'centrepiece' type fish.

I am hoping to have something along the lines of Corydoras (bronze or pygmy), Kuhli Loaches, some shrimp, and maybe a couple of types of shoaling fish (Guppies, platies, rasboras - something like that). I haven't figured out the amounts yet, I'm just working on ideas

Anyway, is there any kind of 'different' fish that you think might fit in this kind of community tank as a single or a pair? Something that will be peaceful and okay for a tank this size.

Thanks

Colisa labiosa thick lipped gourami.
Small(3"-4") peaceful fish.
I'd avoid dwarf gourami due to all the problems this particular ssp has related with it at the mo....
Unless you can find wilds.

Why does everybody want a gourami as the center piece fish lol... Personally, I'd say go with an small shoal of fish as the centre piece...
