60 Gallon Fish Tank

[FishLoverGirl]

hi i have a 60 gallon fish tank with 1 10" pleco 1 4" gourami and 3 1 1/2" cory catfish. I would like to get some colorful fish in the tank i dont want any agressive fish or fish jump any suggestions?

I would 1st up the number of corys to about 8 and you will see them at their best

Your tank is certainly big enough, ever thought about going down the cichlid route? Severum are nice and colourful, and pretty easy to keep. Gold 1s would brighten up ANY tank.

yes i would up the cory numbers too, they will thrive in bigger groups, what type of cory do you have?

 

[FishLoverGirl]

Well I read cichlids were mean to other types of fish and I have a mix of Cory's a albino a common and a spotted looking one

There are some cichlids that are generally peaceful fish, discus, angels, severums, and the the various dwarfs are just some of them.
Other fish to consider would be rainbows, mollies, swordtails and some of the larger tetras.

Swordtails are awesome when fish get into adulthood. Just a pitty I keep tiger barbs or I would get a few in my tank.

An angel fish would be a good starter. They don't get mega big (like say oscars do) and as long as you do a regular water change, there very easy to keep and look great.
