Well, the time has finally come for a larger tank. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have something in the 25-38 gallon range.
Obviously I won't be stocking it right away, but I want fish choice to help guide tank choice.
I've been researching fish and considering different stock lists for months, and sometimes I feel like I'm not any closer to a decision than when I started.
I would like some kind of community tank, and fish health and harmony are most important.
Schooling fish seem like easy choices, but fish that stand out and have a bit of personality make a tank so much more interesting.
So, I'm interested in a centerpiece fish. I'm leaning towards a single angelfish or a pearl gourami, but I'm very open to other suggestions.
I would be open to multiples of either of those fish, but from everything I've read they can get aggressive with each other or with other tank mates.
If I have one alone, with other peaceful fish, do you think they'd be lonely as the only fish of their kind?
Any other general information for planning a community tank would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!
