Fish Recommendation

[Spanerman]

Right i have a 108l tank, with a small shoal of False Harlequin Rasboras and 2 bolivian rams, and im looking for another fish to finish my tank off, it needs to grow to a maximum of 4-5inches and be quite colorfull/interesting and be relativly peaceful.

What ideas do you have?

Sam.

I would get an Angel.

108 litres is most probably too small...a shoal of dwarf cories to finish it off

 

[Faythee]

Oops....I must have converted the liters wrong.

keyhole cichlid
monster betta
golden panchax
gourami

I'll suggest a Gourami because that is the only fish I know that fits that description.

OPALING GOURAMI
such a beatuiful fish


click too enlarge !
you could also try an angel depending on how tall your tank is


just get one as two lead to aggression..... dw if you have one it will not be agressive towards smaller fish

or you could get a pair of blue rams providing you keep a clean tank

 

[kizno1]

ram or keyhole

rams

you need 20 gallons per pair

and blue rams need to be kept in a tank with a temp of 28-32 degrees...or their immune system will be suppressed. which is too much for the current occupants.

i did not know that....

i wouldnt go for rams then

A Pleco or some Corys

I would not go with a keyhole, because you want something colorful, and a keyhole is not that colorful. I would not do an angel if your tank is not 18" tall, and your tank seems kind of small for an angel. I woul not put BOlivian rams and blue rams together like some one suggested. I would add a gourami.

nice marbled gold by the way

my angels were fine.... i only suggested one

any the op only asked for one fish bigger than 4 inches

I have a mean Opaline too. She is now kept with a large Severum and Tinfoil Barbs. It really depends on the individual fish as I see others keep them just fine in community tanks.

A Dwarf Gourami is an alternative. I think they are pretty mellow and real colorful.
