aside from neon tetras (they died), what other fish do you recommend to provide a source of color in the aquarium? i have a black pebble background.

How big is your tank?

Lucy

Serpea's would look great wih black substrate.
They can be nippy though.

10 gallons. and i have a blue gourami.

Or maybe a small school of glowfish (bright danios) and some albino corys on the bottom?

Lucy

Your gourami is going to need a bigger tank. They grow too big for a 10g.
At this point, I wouldn't recommend anything until the gourami is in at least a 20g. He can grow to be about 6 inches.

Edit: In your other thread, you said you have a silver dollar too? You def need a bigger tank for these fish.

fishy777

thanks again, lucy. will try my best. this tank was free, so i will have to scrounge up money for a new one.

Check Craigslist, Kijiji and any local newspapers. You can get some great deals there.

Good luck!

Agree with Lucy, bigger tank needed. Is your tank cycled? Your aquarium info says started in June, and that you don't know about the nitrogen cycle. What are your water readings?

Im pretty sur the tank isn't cycled, here is another thread:

my tank has neon tetra disease - should i care?

I was going to suggest dwarf gouramis but they wont get along with the blue... very colorful though if you decide to switch to the dwarf.

once you have sorted the blue may i suggest a tank of MALE guppies, very colourful
