Can u please suggest unusual fish, items, plants to keep in a fresh water tropical tank?

I have a smallish tank witch homes 2xchiclids, 2xclown loach 2x sucking loach and a cory,. I want something unusual and eye catching to place in the tank. I have a couple of tall plants, a small piece of bog wood and some marble. I think I need something else? Maybe a fish I don't know about that's unusual in some way or plant or fish that looks like a plant? Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you.

I dunno. A snail? You don't have to feed snails. They can live in tanks with fish and they eat the algea that grows in the tank.

Reply:Depending on how small "smallish" is, your tank could be overstocked already. It's also kind of hard to suggest a fish without knowing the size of the tank he'd be going into.
Reply:It really depends on how big "small" is. Are you talking about 5 or 10 gallons?
Reply:Like others have said over crowding is going to become an issue once those fish get bigger. just remember one inch fish per one gallon for each fish.



But if you do get a bigger tank some eye catching fish could be neon tetras. their small but look really cool when its dark and have a light on them. needle fish are funky lookin. Black moore goldfish are cool, tequila sunrise guppies are neat (also small). some aquatic frogs. A lot of the smaller ones are usually prettier then the big ones anyway. Good luck.
