What one fish would you keep in a 33g?

Hi Guys,

I've just acquired a new 33g. I only really wanna keep 1 maybe 2 fish in it, rather than a community. What fish would you suggest?

Thanks

Pair of convicts or firemouths.

Would be great since they always are put in those little tanks..... at least i would think it would be good

I'd get a red tailed shark. I really want one, I think they're quite pretty, but every thing I've read is that their temperament starts out iffy and goes downhill as they get older.

I agree with the convicts or firemouths.. or maybe a pair of dwarf cichlids with some tetras. As for a single fish, maybe a severum.. though 30 gallons is considered absolute minimum. You would need to have good filtration on it.

Agree with the convicts or firemouths but then you'd have the problem of all the off spring. You could do one angel and perhaps a school of tetra's.

I did a breeding pair of kribs in a 29 gallon once, it was very nice.

A blood parrot! No breeding issues to be concerned with there.

A pirahna and a few exodons.

Hobbs--
I was toying with saying that, but got to thinking that when it got older(and larger) that maybe the tank might be a bit small? Would prob have to keep decor to a minimum. But personality wise, yeah a BP would be awesome with maybe a small school of a small tetra for background.

ps:i've toyed with putting a single BP in my 29 for my office too, with a similar arrangement
