Aquarium Advice Freak
I have a 20 Gallon (high) tank (fake plants and real driftwood) that I moved from my home to my office. Miraculously, it appears my small school of 4 year old Cardinal Tetras all survived the move. One was touch and go and resting on the bottom, but has since rejoined the school. Anyhow, I was looking for a "centerpiece" fish to complement them (I love Cardinals!), or at least a smaller school of different shape/color, but complementing fish (bleeding heart tetras?) that are seen midwater by people coming into my office.
I think a few Silver Dollars would be cool, but of course that's not a school, and they're too big for a 20 anyhow.
A pair of Angels would be my second choice, but the size of the tank would likely be a problem again.
Blue Rams sound a little too difficult for an office aquarium. Bolivian Rams... maybe?
Gouramis don't do it for me. Love the opalines, but the tank is too small. The dwarfs just don't have the look that I want, though I've kept them in the past. Would also prefer something that didn't hang around at the top that's hard to see.
Serpae Tetras are cool for coloration, but I've never seen non-aggressive ones.
Just found "Discus Tetras" Brachychalcinus orbicularis on the web... maybe an alternative to the Silver Dollars? Big body, silver so as to not detract from the Cardinals, but offer a complementing look.
What am I missing? Are the Bleeding Hearts or Discus Tetras the answer?
