Fish suggestions please!

[Mariachi]

Hi All,

I am looking at another type of fish to add to my new 3Ft community
tank.

Right now I have
4 Angels,
4 clown loaches
11 Harliqin rasbora
4 black widow tetras
6 corydors (2 panda and 4 peppered)

(If the angels pair up I will be taking the others back to the shop,
also the clown loaches will be moved as they get bigger - but they grow
slowly)

My Ph is 6.8-7. Tank is fully cycled (was set up before christmas)

The fish I need is something Mid to Upper levels and something that is
not black/grey/silver..need a bit of colour! Probably something small
to medium in size.

Any suggestions please?

hmmm...wanted to stay away from the live bearers...would gouramis fit
into my community?

You could add Rosy Barbs, they ar red and are compatible with the other
fishes you have. I have almost same kind of set up in my 55 G tank. gourmis
are fine but you won't get much color.

my 55g tank has:
4 Angles
4 rosy barbs
4 black tetra
4 red eye tetra
2 Kissing Grourmis
2 Perl Gourmis
2 blood fin tetras
1 female ornage palty
1 female white molly
2 bala sharks

Huh?

Try a similar search for turquoise gourami

Plenty of color with Gourami, but little motion.
