Fish mates

[BHamilton]

I have 2 convicts, 4 giant danios, 1 bumblebee catfish. What else can I put in here? I love bettas but I don’t know how they would do in the tank.

Could add a few more bumblebee catfish

The only reason I have one is because with one it is the ability to hide well. If there were more they’d be more visible and the convicts would eat them. I want something with the centerpiece presence of a Betta or angelfish. However I know I can’t have those since they would get attacked but anything big and beautiful that could take the spotlight?

Could do......like 3 larger gouramis. Like gold or blue.

With two convicts, I think another larger fish is probably not going to work, especially if they’re a pair. You could try a blue gourami or similar type gourami.

Already had a gourami, it didn’t do well with the convicts

With convicts in there I would say that you won't be able to have any center piece fish in the tank. The tank is too small for anything that would be big and tough enough to tolerate the convicts. They may be lil fish but they have allot of attitude and can be extremely violent.

What type of gourami?
