Whats A Nice Center Piece Fish

[JohnRossDele]

hi im changing my tank to a dutch style planted tank and this is the fish im getting for it,

Swordtails: 5 (1 male & 4 females)
Mollies: 6 (2 males & 4 females)
Guppies: 12 (4 males & 8 females)
Platies: 12 (3 males & 9 females)
A group of 6 cories (3 albino, 2 bronze, 1 peppered)

i need a good fish that does not have high demands for special foos, water quality (although my water will be clean) and also one that will not eat livebeaer fry thanks

 

[tropic_john]

maybe a pair of apistogramma cactuoides or assazi [sp?]

when I get rid of my guppies, I want a pair or apistos

 

[kizno1]

a gourami but i dont think you will find a fish that won eat fry evan there parents do sometimes

 

[Jonty]

Pearl Gourami? Or some kind of gourami.

If your PH was under 7.4 I'd go for some bolivian or german rams.

I'd also have 3 albino 3 bronze, and maybe 3 less platies and 3 more peppered corys

peal gouramis are boring looking...

 

[JohnRossDele]

maybe if i just put them in the breeding trap, then move the fry to the raising tank they should be ok

so that maximisies the choice

 

[kizno1]

apisto, gourami or 3 upside down catfish
