My current tank:
55 gallon:
1 angelfish
2 male bolivian rams
8 glow light tetra
3 rasboras (almost always school with the tetra)
2 ottos
So, by my rough math and observation of my tank I should be able to add another fish or two to the mix. I would like to add a fish with character, but I don't want my angel (about three and a half inches tall) to try to kill it. I tried to add another angel once, and my original angel chased it around and nipped at it for two days straight (neither of them would eat, too busy chasing and being chased) so I returned the new angel to the store. And because my two male rams (I thought I was getting a pair, but it didn't turn out to be the case. They've split the tank in two and rarely fight, though) are already territorial about the bottom of the tank, I don't want to get a bottom dweller.
The glowlights, rasbora, and ottos seem to exist in their own little worlds, oblivious to the other fish. But, like I mentioned, instead of adding more ottos or rasboras, I'd like to add another "show fish".
Any recomendations?
Thanks for all input!
edit: I have a black gravel and stone substrate, lots of caves and hiding spaces provided by driftwood and rock, and several large sword plants.
