Hmmm, looks like the only good options I have are TFBs and SDs. I was hoping to find something that fit the bill that wasn't silvery, but I guess it is what it is. Thanks guys. :)

I'm gonna try to track down a big red tail black shark, but if that fails I guess I'll try to get some dollars.

My vote is Pseudorasbora parva. Only grow to 5" but are lightning fast and very cheep if your jur did hit them after all. Also eat anything and look pretty with the torpedo-shaped body and the blue/black line along the lateral line.

Flying foxes? I'm growing some out in my planted tank and soon will add them to my bigger one. Apparently they get a little mean in a way where they don't let themselves get picked on?

I had the same issue in my growout pellet training my bass pieces just sank and got wasted had to clean it out everytime. I went the geo rout. abalios to be exact they get about 10" and very colorful. Tank floor has never been cleaner. I had to double my filtration but hey no wasted food :) hell they might even get eaten down the road lol. healthy yet beneficial snack in the long run.
