Hi all,
Was hoping to get some thoughts on a centerpiece fish, shrimp or other fish I can get for my aquarium (unless I'd be overstocking); I've had a look at the other "centerpiece fish" forum posts, but every tank is different so wanted specific thoughts to reduce the chance of any issues.
I really want some shrimp, but scared the Gourami might eat all of them. I have a spare 3 gallon that is currently cycling (planned to be a shrimp tank anyway), so if there's a species of shrimp that could work but ends up getting nibbled on, I can just move them to the 3gal. Let me know if there's any species you'd recommend. I love the look of Crystal Reds but given their difficulty, I am leaning towards Cherry reds.
My tank:
Thanks in advance!
