Hello!
So I’ve moved away from breeding guppies, a bit much to handle tbh and am looking for a nice centerpiece fish to add to the tank. It’s in the same room as my 55g and is quite a bit boring in comparison
Right now the 29 gallon at approximately 17 or so male guppies, 1 clown pleco, and I don’t know how many trap door snails. (They reproduced)
If the guppies are too many, I wouldn’t mind thinning the numbers.
I have angels and Pearl gourami already for a year (all healthy!) so I was hoping for something a smudge different.
My first thought was getting a trio of honey gourami, but I was curious to see if any of y’all would recommend a small cichlid or something different than a gourami (or just perhaps more unique colorizations/species of gourami) since I technically already have a pair . The tank currently only has an itty bitty hiding space for the pleco, but getting a bigger hiding cave would be no issue at all.
I tried having German rams- but they developed sinking tummies and died within a few months. I don’t know if the water parameters didn’t match up or if they were sick or what.
I’ve always been interested in Kribs… but elected for the rams rather than the kribs. I’ve had the pleco for two years (one of my first fish ever) so I’d prefer not to get a territorial bottom tank fish that could hurt him.
I’ve never cared for how Molly’s and swordtails look, and I don’t really want as prolific of a breeder.
