Hi all, I'll try to get to the nitty gritty. I have a 10 gallon planted with an internal filter rated at 20 gallons and a regular old hob rated for 10 gallons circulating water. Plants are water wisteria, amazon sword, eel grass, argentine sword, java fern, and java lace fern with a chunk of driftwood chilling out in the back holding on to some anubias for me. Substrate is sand, and now for my question. Since adding the internal filter, the current is pretty swift in there - not so swift that the 3 panda cories mind, and the 2 african dwarfs can still come out and rummage for worms (though I see them fighting the current sometimes). But if I were to add a centerpiece fish to this tank, what would it be? Or should I just get another cory and call it good? I got pandas because I know they stay a bit smaller than other species. Thanks if any advise :P

P.S. I hate livebearers like guppies and platys with a passion and do not like the look of gouramis XP
 
Have you tried rams? like Bolivian and Electric blue rams. they get around 3"-4". i have kept albino corys myself and they only grow to around 3" max. if decide to lean that way.
 
The 10gal i put in my classroom has 3 spotted panda corys, 3 cherry barbs, and one beta. I say add some cherry barbs. They look great with color and stay small. Ive had that running for about 2 months now.
