Hi JonDawg

Honey gouramis are nice, but I think you have a nice selection of fish as it is.

thank you very much.

I'm swaying towards a dwarf gourami but wanted to know if anyone had a sugestion on a fairly similar sized fish as my main one
thanks

I've loked at this thread a couple of times, thinking about it, but I can't come to any other conclusion than Inchworm. The problem is that with 3 lively swordtails, there won't be a quiet place for the gourami to go in that size tank; and they do seem to relish a bit of peace and quiet. I think you could end up with aggression problems. Also, you do seem pretty well stocked as far as bioload goes.

A pair of dwarf cichlids. apistogramma of some sort. probably cacatuoides.

If you can find borellii, even better as they are smaller.
