Glo Fish in Time-out

A Matted pair sounds nice. I like that idea. Thanks!

Open forum... Anyone else have an idea of a "center Piece" Fish(s) for my 55 Gallon tank?
 
Please Post a Pic

Those are pretty and would look nice in the Black rock Tank I am thinking about. How big do they get, and are they schooling fish
 
No, they are cichlids. They are extremely peaceful, but also very curious, and mine have stressed very shy fish just by their curiosity. I keep 2, and I believe them to be a pair although they haven't spawned. The males max out at about 4-4.5 inches, and the females are a little smaller. These fish change color according to their mood- they get very dark and blotchy when stressed. Mine look like the top pic in the link.

A word of caution- these fish WILL look darker with black substrate. I keep mine in a tank with pool filter sand, but I used to have them with black gravel. There's really a difference in the way they look with different substrates.
