I have 5x rathbuni bloodfin tetra, 6x galaxy rasboras, 2x stiphodon semoni and 4x bamboo shrimps in my 60L nano. I would like a single fish or a pair of something to finish off my tank but I'm finding it hard to decide!
 
Your tank already seems pretty full to be honest.
If you really must add something you could have one or two honey gouramis. Real swell little guys.
 
Ok, thanks for the suggestion! I know my tank is well stocked already but it's kept well :)
 
I'll second TallTree on it being pretty well stocked, but who of us on here hasn't pushed our stocking.
 
Anyways... A honey gourami would be nice, but I would personally go with a Peacock Gudgeon. I have both in my 55 gal. I enjoy the behavior of the Gudgeon a little more. If you do go with the honey gouramis, I would either only get one or get a male and female. I have 2 males and they chase each other every now and again, even in a tank 3 times your size. I would imagine they would go at it more often in a smaller space.
 
Just my thoughts. Good luck! Some pics would be great!

Oh thanks for that info! I noticed you have a stiphodon goby too, does your gudgeon show any aggression towards your bottom-dwelling fish? As I worry about my bamboo shrimps, although they are pretty big!

I'll try and take some pics very soon :)
 
I don't see any aggression at all, and I have quite a few bottom dwellers! They tend to keep to themselves for the most part, but are very pretty, they have an almost tropical look to them. The best behavior I guess is when you have a breeding pair. 
 
Yeah I just got my stiphadon! He is great to watch! is your 2 a pair, or two males?
 
Oh that's really good to know! It's just finding one haha!

Yeah they're lovely little things,I have two and am hoping they're a pair but I'm not entirely sure, they're very small!
 
Nice! Yeah, I have about 50 baby gudgeons if you're in the North East of the US.

Haha I wish! I live in the UK, in a place where there's hardly any good fish shops unfortunately :/
 
Yeah figured as much, most of the people on here are from the UK.
