New Centrepiece Fish

[@ombomb]

My favourite fish has recently died after having it for 6 years and I'd like a new centrepiece for the tank.

The previous star of the tank was a very peaceful RTBS and I'd like something equally striking and placid.

Nothing too big as the tank is only a 50G, tank mates are all peaceful community fish.

All suggestions welcome!

How about a flying fox or a pearl gourami?

Fkying foxes don't reall yhave the same impact as the RTBS.

Pearl Gouramis are an option though.

What fish do you have now?

why not get a lovely angelfish? maybe a black marble angel? or why not get another RTBS? x

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

yeah an angel fish would look awsome

I've got a pair of Pearl Gouramis as the centerpiece fish in my 55 gallon tank, and They're lovely. Moonlight Gouramis would be very pretty as well.

Paradise fish are also great!

 

[pinkdolphin_113]

yea but angels are better

I really don't see gourami's as centre piece fish but what ever floats your boat .

I suggest either if your willing on a risky option a African Butterfly fish (depends your stocking of course) however for peacefull fish that can fit into a 55 gal I really can't think of anything a type of cichlid that is peacefull might work

 

[sic0198]

A Kribensis Cichlid maybe. But if you do go with this suggestion, only get one (1).

Sorry for the newbie question. But wat is the full name of the RTBS fish?

Red-Tail Black Shark.

I would see the pearl gourami as a centrepiece. Very much so. Lovely fish IMO.

Don't know how centerpiece-esque a keyhole cichlid is.. but might be an option..

Festivum cichlid maybe if you don't have any small small fish.
