Dude a RTC would be perfect for that tank. Then after awhile you wont have to worry about the overstocking. Hahaha JK

How about a royal pleco?

Carefree, youre a good guy but you have to understand that this isnt about fish, this is about control in a relationship. You have to stand your ground. You kindly offered her to adopt one of the many fish in your overstocked tank. Her refusal and demand for a new fish is a line you dont want crossed because she will see you as easily manipulated.

You have to be firm. Tell her one time that there is no room for another fish and that if she doesnt want one thats already in there then she just wont have one. Then walk away and ignore anything she says about it.

Yeah, but I'm thinking he wants to keep dating her? Amirite?

Anyways, what about something along the lines of a red tail shark, firemouth, aureus, or HRP?

She wont break up with him, she will realize he has a spine and she will respect him more and treat him better. Besides if she leaves him because he wont be her doormat he is better off.
