what other fish to get?

[chris_harper]

what other fish would be good to put in my aquarium besides what i already have? i was thinking about a 3-spot gourami or two, what do ya'll think?

I think a 3 spot gourami will be to aggressive and grow to big for what you have.
I would first buy 3 more of all the fish you already have, just because all of the fish you have listed are schooling fish, and will be stressed when in small groups.
as for new fish, I would recommend maybe a species of cory or Gourami. Pygmy gouramis stay nice and small, or if you want something weird, you could look up Croaking Gourami's, which can make noises through the glass.
as for cory catfish, any species is compatible, but you may want to pick a smaller species, because corys too are schooling fish and need companions. I would say 6 panda corys or 6 pygmy corys would fit in.
Hope this helps

I am not sure I agree about what the above poster said about glass fish, but first are the glass catfish? I keep 2 of these and it is not concrete that they need a group, just another. I would however say you should get one more because they are not usually good in odd numbers as one gets left out. Maybe this is not the case with yours?

I'd recommend bottom feeders of some kind. I think it's important to get a god balance between top/middle/bottom dwellers.

Is there anything you have had your eye on other than the 3 spot?

they are not glass catfish, but glassfish (Chanda ranga). i also like barbs, the australian rainbow fish, and tetras.

I don't think there would be any problem with putting a 3-spot in that tank.
