Hey Everyone Cory From aquarium co-op today i want to talk about centerpiece fish for
29 Gallon tanks and Smaller it's One of our most Requested questions here in the store?
People come in and Say I've Got a 20 Gallon or i've Got a 10 or i've Got
25 and i want one fish That gets Kind of Big and is
Colorful to live with all my Other tiny fish and That's like The most difficult question to answer because
Typically a Fish That gets Big eat Smaller fish But Here are my recommendations
I've Got five of them for you with the first one being
Angelfish Now i recommend it Is a One of
Simply One Angel in That Twenty Nine Twenty five Gallon tank Hopefully It'S a Little Bit taller
Now obviously if you have a ten Gallon i don't recommend This but like these Filipino blues They'll be striking
Everyone That Looks at Your Aquariums gonna Say oh wow i love
Angelfish Your angelfish Looks so Good Mine's so Mean But because you only have One they won't be fighting and so That'll Be Great?
Number four we Have
Certain Gouramis My favorite Being The Honey Gourami it only gets about
Two two and a Half inches Pretty docile a Lot of color in a small Package here and
I'm not gonna Say Shrimp safe but i have Kept My Shrimp and They don't Prey on them that that much and could Be Your
Showpiece Even as small as a five Gallon tank but ten Gallons and Up a Little Bit Better over here we have?
Female powder blue Gouramis also Another Great choice i wouldn't do the male's They tend to be pretty aggressive
You could do One but i like the females as a One of solo specimen Nice bright blue a Little Bit bigger a fish
and it'S gonna you Know Walk Around Like It owns the tank and
It'll be the thing you've Been Looking Forward to set off your fish if you didn't. Have a bunch of blue Already
My Number three fish is going to be one
Apistogramma i usually you're gonna pick a male Cuz They've Got a lot of color on them i would stick to
Kaka Toy tease either orange Flash or super Red
Possibly You Go with Egg disease They're a Little Bit more aggressive you know we've Got
Here we've Got the double reds and then We've also Got the japanese fire reds Over here?
But They only Get about three inches or so they don't need you know high ph they can Handle a relatively low ph in
Fact But anywhere in the Middle is Pretty Good for them and
you Know They're
Adaptable and They'll Go well with Lots of Those Schooling fish i would
Say Tends The bare minimum but really i'd like to see a Twenty or more and
Yeah so Let's go on to number two and
I almost Forgot
apistogramma borellii What makes them so cool is they don't even have to be in a Heated tank There's a Lot of Color
To them they don't get as big they stay Pretty small so you can See here we've Got them living With like reticulated Hillstrom Loaches?
But Gorgeous fish and Just Not Worth mentioning for sure as their showpiece
Number two for me is the bolivian Ram Now It might not look like a showstopper When you're seeing it in the store
But you Get One coloured up looking Pretty Good and there are force to be reckoned with they Get about three inches or so
They Get some long trailers to their fin on the dorsal or not the dorsal but the the tail fin extensions Which is Pretty Nice
I would do Just one again But They are a Stockier fish They're definitely gonna stick Out from all of Your tetras and raspberries and
Danios and Things Like That and not be so boisterous that They're gonna Harass everything so i think They're a Great Pairing for That
showpiece fish You've Been looking for
My Number one
recommendation for a community tank with nothing aggressive and you want
To show Peace and it to be colorful is a Betta Now let's Let's Review some things here like This One Is a Halfmoon?
There's Crown tails if you give them these big big flowy fins
AnyThing That swims Really Fast Will peck at them so it could be Danios could be
Sur pietrus Stuff Like That and vice versa They're gonna hunt Things a Little Bit like Shrimp and Stuff like that so i really
Really Like to put in
Like The
Betta so none of The fins are long They've Got Nice short Fins i
Tend to like the koi ones i don't know it's Just the newest color Variety i like them quite a Bit and
They Really Stand out in the aquarium
All Your friends Will Wonder like How do you do that That can't be done it can be done
They Just They tend to hold Their own and when you give them a bunch of space
They don't Get Crazy territorial on average Now Everybody is different Just Like Every other fish we've Seen in this video
Could Be different Could Be i hate Everyone could Be I love everyone There's all The gamut there and
All i can Say Is all of our Bettas in the store Here live in our community tanks?
There are other Betters as well You could do something like a Pug Next Better That's we have right Here and
That Is a Mouth Brooding Wild cotton Betta that We Like to run i keep Doing my community tanks but all my Bettas in the
store Are always in community tanks and
The Best Part about that is They're available everywhere you don't
Have to say Hey Cory i can't find female powder blues i can't Find pizza Grandmas i can't find i can't find
Everyone can Find a Really Nice Looking Better and That's What'S so good about them is that They look great and They're easy to find
