Centrepiece Fish

[Davies97]

I am going to the Pet Store Tomorrow and I am looking for a Centrepiece fish that can be kept with Guppies any ideas

How large is your tank? How many hippies do you have?

Hippies are very social creatures and should be kept in groups of five or more and they require a very large tank.

They also appreciate a hacky sack dropped into the tank to play with, and are appreciative of a few choice live plants.

Back on topic please....

I have live plants and i have 4 males and 3 females but im getting another today. I have a 14 gallon and dont say its over crowded because i have one inch of fish per gallon

You do realise that the 1 inch per gallon "rule" is the most blatant show of lack of knowledge when it comes to fish keeping.

With that logic you could house a 14" pleco in that tank? Balderdash!!

I would say you are most definitely stocked without the addition of a CP fish.

But it's up to you to decide at the end of it all...

a dwarf gourami should do well in your planted tank.

If that's the fish I'm thinking of then it gets way too big for a 14 gallon tank.

They can reach upto 15cm or 6"

That would only give around 4 body lengths of swimming room, a very confined space IMO.

A smaller gourami like the honey would be better for that size of tank but the guppies will soon fill it to the brim so I'd leave out a CP fish.

No they grow 6cm at most
