Suitable Fish For Larger Tank

[Rachel22]

Hi, Im fairly new to keeping tropical fish but have learned quite a bit already, this is a very informative site!

I have a 100L tank with gourami's, cardinal's, mollies and a cory but bought a 190L Fluval Venezia the other day. I'm trying to find a suitable species to house in there, preferably a larger kind of fish. I have researched angelfish but the general consensus seems to be that they become quite aggressive when adult. It is a shame as they look so graceful and would brighten up the tank. I had a brief look at discus fish but I haven't got the expertise (or the financial means!) to keep any.

I would appreciate any ideas anyone has, and extra info etc

Thanks very much

Thanks for reply, the tank has a curved front that measures 43" across, 19" high and 26" deep. Its a fluval Venezia 190, a corner tank, there are pictures on the internet if you wanted to have a look.

Ideally, I'm after something nice to look at and not aggressive as I would like to house some cardinals in there too. Any ideas?

Thankyou

Oh and I'm in Wales

Get about 8 puffers, 10 cardinals, 10 neons & 10 white cloud mountain minnows. If you can push it, maybe some cories [about 6/8] or 4 pakistan loaches [unlikely]

Hmm, not too keen on puffer fish to be honest, they aren't colourful enough! Anything else I could substitute them with instead?

you could go for some cichlid's like keyhole cichlids/jade eyed cichlids/rainbow cichlid but not sure about with neons....have a look at colombian tetra and see what you think
