Something is needed in our 4' S. American tank. It's got a blue acara, a shoal of bleeding hearts and some cats at the mo - and a few platies. Yeah, I know they're C. American but I liked 'em.
However, it feels like it needs something else eyecatching - a "gentle giant" is what Mrs Faramir said - but would a Festivum or Severum (which spring to mind) not get on with a male acara who's used to having the tank to himself territorially speaking? I want to keep it to S/C America, so no gouramis, please!
I also thought of beckfordi pencils - they looked good in the book but the ones in the shop were rather dull - do they colour up in people's experience, or is it a case of "never get ones that look like the ones in Baensch...."?
Thoughts please?

Hope I came up with something new!
