I'm wanting to add a few more small fish (5-6) to my aquarium. I'm really wanting to get some more color and activity in there. What would you recommend based on the info in my signature? Thanks.

I am not sure about the compatibility, so someone please step in here if I am wrong. But female bettas have the most variety of colors than any other small fish out there. Some can be aggressive though, so you have to watch them for a few days.

You have quite a bit of color in there already!

How about some red wag swordtails or some platies. I think something in the red/orange colors might make your tank really look good. If you don't want to go for livebearers, maybe some tetras with red/orange in them, like bleeding hearts.

You could also liven it up with something very active like danios or rasboras, which tend to be a lot faster moving than the gouramis and tetras. You might find that adds more interest to the tank than something colorful.
