Below in my signature is what I currently have in my tank.
I want to add either a RTBS or tri-color rainbow shark, one more cory and from there I'm stuck. I have been pondering for months now, I would like some kribensis cichlids and maybe some rams but my search hasn't indicated that they would be ok with my current mates. I would like a couple "bigger" fish for appearance as well. Any suggestions would be EXCELLENT!
Thanks in advance.
 
I was thinking about Blood Parrots but after research I did not have the conscious to buy any. They are hybrids, usually dyed, most are sterile... I just can't do that. Upon furthur investigation I came upon the Blue Acara cichlid that does well solitary and is a beautiful fish, haven't seen any in the LFS around here though. Any thoughts? I'm looking for middle to top dwellers that are nice and colorful that obviously go with my current fish.
 
Then there's always Discus! There's even folks on here that sell & ship them to ya!
 
BLue acaras are beautiful fish, with iridescent blues and golds, and white on the tops of their fins, and when they are ready to breed, their fins turn a dark brown/black color that makes them look even better. they are very easy tempered fish, but can be kept with more aggressive fish like convicts, as i do.
 
IME you should get another clown loach. They really do much better in groups of three or more. Since I got my third one a couple of weeks ago, they have been as thick as thieves and all over the tank all day. Before that, Romeo and Juliet only came out at night and when it was feeding time.
