large main fish

[chopper]

im after a large fish or pair for my 4ft community tank, i have guppies xray tetra's white mountain minnows and a bristlenose. any idea's on what would be compatible with these thanks

[Carylnz]

A number of the rainbow species, like the Boesemani, or some gouramis immediately come to mind.

really like the look of the Boesemani, dont think ive seen them before i'll have to enquire. will any gouramis be ok or are there certain ones to watch for.
thanks for your reply

[Carylnz]

Those called pearl, orange or lace would be good. Avoid 3 spot or blue as they tend to be nasty. Don't get kissing gourami either as they are too big.

thank you

the bosemanis will set ya tank off a treat....i love mine....

if you go to a shop they will look dull and washed out,virtually no colour......but get em home in a nice tank,with open swimming spaces and plants cover and you will see them colour up lovely,the colours develop more as they get settled.

i also have lake katubu ( green/blue) rainbows.....so nice

the pearl gourami is another stunning fish,as long as they can reach the surface to gulp air they will be great..

cheers for your reply ady.

i went down to a few of my lfs and a pair of moonlight gouramis caught my eye, i came home read up about them and they seem ideal for my setup so been back and got them.
well chuffed with them, and they seem to have settled straight in, thanks Carylnz for sending me down that route

gouramis are beautiful, graceful fish....

enjoy your latest additions.....
