29 Gallon "centerpiece" fish

[Sharkbait22]

My beautiful blue gourami just died a few weeks ago. Now in my 29 gallon I'm left with 5 harlequin Rasboras, 2 Platy fish, and 1 Molly. I would like to get another colorful "centerpiece" type fish for my tank. I don't want another gourami right now, and unfortunately I can't find any GBRs anywhere near me. Any suggestions?

Personally I think centerpiece fish are overrated. I find a well planted , well stocked tank with happy healthy fish is fascinating to watch. Very few fish do well as single fish. Bettas and Gouramis are the two main exceptions for smaller tanks.
My CPDs and my Cories are fascinating to watch.

Maybe a BN Pleco ? If you have a very good filter.

Maybe an Apisto or Bolivian Ram ?

I'd try an apisto or Bolivian yeah. And look a maybe a Cory school, definitely interesting and active creatures.

Bolivians and GBR are not really solitary fish. Would be wise to keep a pair of them (male+female).

Only if there's enough floor space for pair. Otherwise the pair may kill each other if it's too small of a tank. Or they may start harassing the rest of the tank if they're feeling too cramped.

Apisto, bolivian ram, dwarf gourami, rainbow cichlid, honey gourami, and pearl gouramis are options.
