Hi,

I'm setting up a 120 litre planted community tank in which I'm going to
keep Rummynose Tetras, Lemon Tetras and Endlers livebearers (Poecilia
wingei) with a Khulii loach, some corydoras and amano shrimp. I would
like to keep one or two more striking fish too but they would have to
be peaceful towards their tank mates.

The options I've thought about a
(1) Betta splendens (since I've always adored bettas - I do already
have two in other tanks.)
(2) A pair of Honey Gouramis
(3) A pair of Kribensis. (I'm not sure these will be OK with such small
ultra-peaceful tank mates since they can get up to 3 1/2 to 4 inches in
size. Also, despite their reputation for being relatively peaceful,
being cichlids I suspect they will still guard and hold a territory
quite aggressively if they breed.

I have a 180L set up and I'd go for the Kribensis (as I did in your
position). If they pair off and breed you'll spend far more time in front of
the tank. Whilst they will keep the others away from the fry, they probably
won't actually injure anything. They are just good with threats.
