My 120l is now fully cycled, but I'm having a dither about what to put in it.
Originally I wanted guppies, a small shoaling or schooling species (I like celestial pearl danios, chili rasboras and pencil fish), maybe endlers, a pearl gourami as a centrepiece and a small plec, but now I'm thinking the gourami might look odd in there - it's a big fish, especially compared to the guppies and shoalers.
I wondered about a honey gourami but I've heard that they do better in trios; I also (briefly) toyed with having my fighter as the centrepiece of the new tank, but he's pretty stroppy and I wouldn't like to chance it. I'm also thinking about scrapping the pleco and going for a school of small cories and/or some pretty shrimp for some interest at the lower levels.
Basically I'm going back to the drawing board and asking for new suggestions! I like plenty of colour (hence the attachment to guppies/endlers) and would prefer something going on at all levels in the tank. In an ideal world I'd like to find a peaceful, slightly larger fish to act a focal point, but if that's not possible then never mind.
What would you guys recommend?
