Centerpiece Fish?

Question

Hi,

I am planning on re-setting my tank and re-cycling it. I am planning on keeping 6 Phatom Tetras and 4 Kuhli Loaches. I need some sort of centerpiece fish. What do you think would be the best centerpiece fish.

10 Gallon Tank

Answer 1

If you can afford it, you could get a Goo Obo Gudgeon, but remember, they will cost more than $30 per fish, so it isn't for the weak of wallet... A Dwarf Gourami OR a Betta are great, but they are very commonplace... Badis aren't terribly expensive, and make a great addition to any community tank with ample cover and hiding places. With Badis, it is not uncommon for them to react to their owners' presence.

EDIT: Clownfish are saltwater, while the fish Chris listed are freshwater...

EDIT 2: Donnie, I really think you should at least keep fish before telling people what size tank they should be in... If you're saying a 3-4 inch fish like a Kuhli Loach needs 50 gallons, you might want to consider the fact that you are absolutely out of your mind... Though they can reach two inches, Phantom Tetras usually stay around 1.5 inches and in a school, are perfectly at home in a 10 gallon tank with plenty of cover... Rem,ember that Liveaquaria really isn't as great as it says and often has typos and other glaring errors in its information...

Answer 2

Phantom Tetras require a minimum tank size of 20 gallons since they grow to a size of 2".
Kuhlii Loaches require a minimum tank size of 50-gallons since they grow to a size of 3".

How about a nice Dwarf Gourami? Or a Rainbowfish?

Phantoms and Kuhlis are two of my most favorite fish!
