stock list:

10 rummy nose
10 neons
6 peppered cories
6 panda cories
4 ots (might change this one)
3 dwarf frogs

All I need is my center pieces I dont want any live bearers Im leanding towards a pair of discus but I just dont have time to water change everyday. Angels will eat my neons. So help me out here

How about a single gourami, like a Pearl gourami or a trio? Pearls are peaceful and very pretty.

Or how about a pair of rams? Very colorful fish. I'd go with Germans if you can find them. Bolivians would be great too though.

hmmm sounds like a possible choice. My only concerned about a pair of rams is my cories are all over the place and may tend to go near a breeding ground. Other than that might sound like a possiblity. As far as gourami I was considering but that would be my last choice

Snakeskin Gourami, big yet peaceful.

hmmmm are these guys hard to find i dont see them in pet stores (snakeskin)

Snakeskins get huge, about 10 inches, which would make your 55g look really small. If you go with a gourami, I'd get one in the 4-5 inch range.

What about a male betta? I know that sounds like a common choice, but it could work with the fish you have.

Or how about a school for a centerpiece, like some hatchetfish. You could fit 6 in your tank and they would stay at the surface.

I don't think rams would hurt your cories. They may chase them away if they breed, but they shouldn't hurt them. Cories would definitely go after ram eggs, so they will just guard the eggs, shouldn't do any damage.
