is it planted?if not you can go for barbs or u can add more rasboras about up to 20 or 30 of them.

Either take the 2 random fish to the store and start out with fish he really wants, or get more of each and maybe some bottom dwellers and/or centerpiece fish like gourami.

 

[big54bob]

well it is not planted and he likes his guppy

 

[Helena21]

how about getting more rasboras to make a big school, that would look really nice

 

[big54bob]

how many rasboras helana????????????????????

 

[Helena21]

ermm.. about 10

 

[big54bob]

how about this:
1keyhole cichlid
4 rasboras
1 male molly
3 platies
2 otos

 

[Jayrod7]

the cichlid definitely no. platys, mollies, swords, and gups are more happy in groups of 6 or more, but the livebearers will school together, so i would recomend getting around 5-6 mollys, swords, platies combined, you can go up to 10 but be start off small, never add more than 6 fish to a tank at a time.

 

[big54bob]

aw come on i need to know what is a good cichlid for his tank

 

[FreddyJ]

I think the only cichlids you could realistically expect to live with those other fish are German Blue Rams (need excellent water quality), Apistos, or Kribensis.

I see on the profiles that Keyhole Cichlids are categorized as "community" fish but not sure why Jayrod nixed it--so I'm not going to say it would be ok or not. Hopefully one of the cichlid-experts will chime in here. Good luck!
