I second the dwarf Gourami idea... I have a flame dwarf gourami and he is stunning.

dwarf gouramis are amazing fish. I am thinking of just getting one more tank with a similar set up.

The fish store we went to yesterday had dwarf gourami, but they only sell them in pairs - a male and female. I assume that's not a problem as our fish book also says they do well in pairs. Are they very active fish? Thanks for your continued help with all my questions!

Still thinking.... if I can find single gouramis, what about a single male guppy and a single male gourami - will that work? That would mean 2 cories, mystery snail, single guppy and single gourami. Such a difficult choice!

Lol! It really is! Huh... I've never been to a store that sold them in pairs like that. Perhaps a male and a female will be okay but I've always understood that gouramis should be kept singly. If you can find just a male DG then he should do really well with a male fancy guppy; they're nice companion fish with non-aggressive types. That last list you made sounds great!

*Maybe one more guppy... I know my gups like swimming together, so on second-thought I wonder if your gup would be happier as a pair.
