Before you choose from this collection

This page collects the standout species that anchor an aquarium — the centrepiece fish that draw the eye while the shoals move behind them. Everything listed is live stock held in our own system, dispatched with a licensed live-animal courier under our live arrival guarantee.

A centrepiece is usually a larger, more colourful or more characterful fish kept singly or as a pair: gouramis, dwarf and larger cichlids, angelfish, a showy pleco, or a rainbowfish male. It gives a community tank a focal point and a personality.

Read the species care guides linked below before ordering. The key is choosing a centrepiece whose adult size and temperament fit your tank and its existing residents — a centrepiece that outgrows or bullies the community defeats the purpose.

Frequently asked questions

A centrepiece is the visual anchor of a tank — typically a single larger, bolder or more colourful fish (or a pair) kept alongside shoaling community fish. Where a shoal provides movement, the centrepiece provides a focal point and character. Gouramis, dwarf cichlids, angelfish and showy plecos are popular choices.
