I hope I'm not getting annoying, but this is my only (and first in a long time) community tank and I don't want to end up with something I don't like.

Currently I've got mainly smaller fish, and I want something a bit larger that would do all right in a 29 gallon with:

8 pristella tetras
5 peppered corys
3 otos

I'm probably going to add another cory or two and more ottos or a small pleco.

So, "centerpiece fish" suggestions? I don't really want a dwarf gourami, but if that's the best option I suppose I'll go with it

Satin,
How about an Angelfish?
29g tanks are usually tall enough
for angels,
and pristella tetras are large enough to be housed
with an adult angel.
Add at least 1 more cory,
a couple more ottos,
and an Angelfish!
Thats what I would do.

I would go with a Pearl Gourami (beautiful colours & very peaceful) & then add 3 more Otto's & Corydoras.
