What the heck is with this constant search for a single Centerpiece Fish ???!!!!
Most smaller peaceful fish need to be in groups. Most singular fish are aggressive or not suited to all tanks.
I think this is just silly. My "Centerpiece " is a group of happy healthy fish and a nice 'scape to look at. I think it's a dumb concept. I use the term "focal point" instead. My main focus in one tank was my Shrimp. So I designed the tank around them. I picked tankmates that are compatible.
I used to have a large group of Neons. 35 in a 55g. They were my WOW factor. Not a single fish.
Some tanks can have a single spectacular specimen, many cannot. We aren't designing a livingroom here ! but a habitat for live fish.
I'm so over this constant talk of Centerpiece fish.
My Crytocoryne wendtii Mi Oya is my only centerpiece and it's a plant
*off my soapbox*
