GBR or DG

[olbustedhotness]

atm i have 4 emerald eye rasbora(4 died on me..don't know why) 5 het rasbora( going to get 3 or 4 more) and 1 albino BN pleco.

i want to get a centerpiece fish. I was thinking a GBR or and dwarf gourami..any subjugation

German blue ram. I have a ram and dwarf gourami. The ram is by far more active and fun to have. Seem to live longer and overall can be prettier.

What size is the tank?

 

[serena00]

Yes plenty for 1.. More than 1 could get aggressive with each other. My 20g has a community which includes my electric blue

Puffers are quite territorial. I'd seriously keep an eye on it.

Dwarf puffers are known to be serious fin nippers to fish. They also will eat or try to eat any snails in the tank.

I have had both fish. I don't think the pea puffer is a great fit for GBR. They are quite slow and calm. Puffer will bite the fins of GBR and your little guy will have tears in his fins. I had my puffer in a 20g community but all fast fish that could hold their own.

Agree on this. If you are going to have a puffer in a community it better be some fast fish like danios he can't catch.

I would just try to purchase a 5g for the puffer all together, and insta cycle it with media from the 20. I believe it will cause more problems in the community tank then not, especially since it can be an avid fin nipper, you might get lucky though an not have one of that temperament, but I think it's better to be safe then sorry on this one.
