A male betta would be awesome to watch.

Re: 14 gallon tank ? and 1 fish

hmm.. solitary fish.. yea, a betta is the first fish that comes to mind and he'd be beside himself to have so much room. Most fish like to have at least 1 buddy but i think a gourami would also be content to have the tank to himself.

i don't think a single betta will look good in a 14g, one angel will look very pretty, they grow up to 6".

Angelfish do not need to be in something as shallow as any 14 gallon tank I've seen. They really need the height to get proper growth of finnage. Or for the finnage to stay properly aligned.

What about a single large gouramis. Like a pearl or blue gouramis.

Like the angels, they'd need at least 20g & best at 30g or more. The difference would be they'd prefer a long to a tall.
