    Hi all,
    Been reading here and there to get info on high and mid layer fishes . Adding up colors.
    All i have is cories, plecos, otos, living peacefully.
    And now looking for peaceful companions.
    I dont want them to nip my long fin pleco.
    Any ideas?

    Tank length is 50cm, with huge tree like wood across.
    I get random opinions on nipping tetras danios and barbs.
    So confused.
    Please help.

    You can try minnows or hatchetfish.
    I just got some meteor minnows and silver hatchetfish over the weekend as I wanted upper column dwellers for my tank.

    Hatchetfish can jump so must have tank cover. Y618 have silver hatchetfish , much nicer than the marble ones in my opinion.

    Meteor minnows are actually a variant of the golden white cloud we normally see at lfs.
    You can google for pictures, it has red colour on its' tail and fins.
    I got mine from JZX.

    Dwarf gourami is nice too, top column dwellers and should be easily available at LFS.
    It's better to make a trip to LFS and see what they have in stock right now, you may get rare finds and nice surprises.

    Coral red pencilfish spotted at c328 yesterday, would be a colourful addition to your tank

    Visited na. The gouramis are quite big. Hmmm..
    Not many choice as well.
    So ended up with 6 red danios and 6 normals.
    Also got neon tetras as they are the cheapest. Hopefully they get along. Will see how first might consider gouramis if space allowed
    Thanks all
