I am looking for a "Centerpiece" type fish and some other smaller type fish to go with it. I have never owned fish before so this is my first time. Any ideas? It is a 25 Gallon starter kit and will have a heater, filter etc.
Thanks :)
 
A pair of dwarf gouramis, and a shoal of tetras would look great in that tank, and 6-8 cories for the bottom, providing you have sand as the substrate :)
 
Contrasting colours will look great between the shoaling species and the centre piece fish(es). If you go with DG's, get the blue, they're colouration is brilliant. If going with these try and add something either red or yellow as the shoalers. Ember Tetra's or rosy barbs would be nice with the DG's.
 
These fish will get along then, right?

And what about the Orange Von Rio Fkame Tetra? Would they look nice?
 
So how many tetras or barbs could I have with 2 Dwarf Gourami's, and how would i need to set up the tank in terms of plants, hiding spots etc.
Thanks for the help so far! :)
 
Oh! And this is the tank they would be in, it has everything I need right?
