Default Fish suggestions please!

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?

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.
