Hey, so i've got a nice setup with a couple retic's that are doing great, with an arowana, gar, angels and a couple discus. Half my tank is thickly forstested with a bunch of live plants, are there any small, colourful fish that are extremly jumpy, that will just hide in that foliage all the time and be safe. I'd love to get something nice a colourful like a school of neon tetras or something but i know those will get eaten, is there anything like that?
Thanks in advance.

I had some congo tetras with mine.. were around 13 cms each..
obviously i was aware they would probly get eatern,

took em a few weeks, but soon as one goes. you will loose the rest quickly.

Dont invest too money in small fish, as there is a good chance that it will be an expensive feeder.

I doubt any small fish will last long with the other tank mates you listed.

the arow and gar are the problems. i dont know how big your arow is but when i add 2-3" feeders for my scombs, my 17" arow eats them to. i would say anything less then 4-5" wont work.

i have 3 4" redtailed sharks that have been with my arow and scombs for a while, they do fine, so far.
