Hi,

I have had my fish for almost a year now.
I have

2 Dwarf gourami (1 flame, 1 blue)
2 zebra danio
2 clown loaches (my favourite)
4 orange platy

I want something that is a feature in the tank, my fiances liked the look of anglefish but i am not sure if they are suitable with the fish i already have, have heard mixed reports about their aggressiveness/size.
also thinking of getting some more zebra danio as they are schooling fish.

what do you think?
 
what size tank? seems like anglefish would work tehre but idk depending on size. you could get a school of tetras. like a dozen dimond or bleeding hearts.
 
A lace/pearl gourami or two. Not overly active but would fit in with the others. And they are interesting, curious guys with a bit of a flash of colour. But as said, need the tank size.

I've had angels in as well and it worked okay, but that was a ~200lt tank. I was thinking of getting another couple for the community tank, but the LFS wants too much. Gourami are cheaper at the moment.

A few neons for a flash of blue might be nice too...

What size tank? I think you mentioned you have clown loaches. In my experience, clown loaches and angels are not a good mix. There are a lot of choices out there though. What other fish do you like?

White Cloud or Golden Cloud Minnows. I find them too active for me, but you might like them. You might enjoy just observing some at a LFS.
 
Hi,

Whats the size of your tank??? Because Clown Loaches need big tanks. Like BrkD said, Cories would be a great choice. But sometimes Clowns can be too aggressive for Cories.

Once your tank size is listed, and you have enough room....I would recommend a few Rainbow fish. There are several different types & colors and they are very friendly fish for a community tank.

But they can get 4-5 inches....so until we know your tank size and available room, I hold my suggestion.
