I Need Some Colour! Help

[MadamBetta]

Hi Peeps,

I have a 470 Liter tank (125 gallon) which is 130x60x60

Currently the fish are
8 x Diamond Tetra's (silver & shiny)
7 x Black Phantom Tetra's (black)
1 harem cacatouides orange flash (grey/black with little bit of orange)
12 Corydoras Paleatus (yip you guessed it..grey&black)
and 1 harem of Croaking Gourami's (greyish & shiny with beautiful blue eyes)

I am guessing I still have room left for some more fish but would love to have something with some colour .....

Anyone know of any peaceful community fish that are beauties to colour up my tank?

Many thanks in advance for thinking with me

Is that the Puntius denisonii ??? They sure are nice but hard to find.. will have a hunt...

Any other fishies peeps can think of?

i think male fighters are hard to beat but can only have one. a nice shoal of cardinals or perhaps some different coloured platys and mollys. oh and swordtails

What about some Rainbowfish (thinking Bosemani)?

I completely agree - the most colourful fish in my tank. Also, the Red Rainbows are stunning with the brigh red glistening bodies. And the fish really are fabulous in general community. Just ensure your water is not too soft as they prefer alkaline waters with high pH and hardness & also temperature (only under these circumstances will you see their brigh and vivid colours.

I think a few femal Bettas would look nice. I currently have a red one, blue one and half pink half maroon one and they certainly add colour. Of course in this size tank you would need about 7 but they would look very nice nice plus of course they aren't like males where you only keep one.

Or you could try a couple of honey gouramis and a couple of dwarf gouramis.
