So i am picking up my 65g tank tomorrow, 36Lx24H18W, and i'm extremely fascinated with a planted community tank and have been looking for fish already.
I don't know much so please correct me if i'm wrong or say anything stupid. but I've been researching a lot and want to try to keep the tank very colorful and as safe as it can be for the fish. I've already came up with a few ideas for stocking so far and would love to add on and maybe even change my idea on some fish i picked out already, so far it goes like this.
Centerpiece - 2x Pearl Gourami (prefer a male and female for good coloring)
Schooling Fish - 12x Cardinal Tetra & 12x Galaxy Rasbora
Bottom Feeders - 8x Agassiz Corydoras & 8 Nerite Snails (for algae problems)
Other - 1x Apistogramma Agassizii
Im open to changing almost any of these other than the Pearl Gourami, but want to add some other medium sized fish with nice coloring to them, originally i was looking at Kribensis, but i found out that they are super colorful when they have mates and when they do have mates practically become sex machine killers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i also would take some recommendations on decorations and plants to put into the tank.
I would also change the gender of the Gourami if people think its a good idea, i know they can get a little aggressive when it becomes breeding season but i keep seeing that they are extremely peaceful especially for a Gourami.
I mainly am looking for bigger fish other than the usual small tetras and rasbora such as the Apisto for example.
