i’m currently looking to add another centerpiece to my 75 gallon, i already have a female betta but would like another fish that really pops
tank contains:
5 cory cats, 12 gold barbs, female betta, 10 red eye tetras, 12 neons, 5 black neons, 6 guppies, and 15 embers
never once have i had any aggression though, my red eyes and barbs have never nipped at any fish, not even the guppies or betta
and my betta has never once chased or nipped at another fish, she’s been completely peaceful
i’m thinking rainbow fish but don’t wanna overstock as i know they get quite large, any suggestions?

Rainbowfish are also schooling fish.

Honestly I wouldn't risk another "centerpiece" as most aren't compatible here
 
I'm sure there are 100 reasons not to do this, but I have a single angel fish in my south American tetra tank, that has been working out real well... it was medium large, when it went in there, the only issue I've had, has been with neon tetras, and small cardinals... I think the bright colors, and small size, cause the angel to hunt them... but the angel has been fine with even pretty small rummy noses, as well as the other tetras... starting with a small to medium, you would likely be ok... not sure of the interaction with the female beta

i love angels and think they look great but i don’t really wanna take the risk of my smaller fish being eaten
