Im looking for some mid level active fish for my 80 gallon brackish tank. As of now i have a violet goby, and some mollies. Would mono argentus go well? what are some active fish that i could put in my tank?

i've thought about archers but they are mainly stay at the top of the tank. how big do the colombian sharks get? i thought they get pretty big. if i get a lot of mollies will they all become more active? like if i have 10-12 of them.
I have a columbian right now and I have had him for a month now but I believe they get 10 inches long. I believe they have brackish puffers on pet solution??? may want to look there at other types of fish
for mid water you cant go wrong with monos, scats are too big for an 80 gallon. Mollies always work well, so do orange chromides (cichlid). Butis Butis and purple spotted gobies are cool but not very active hmmm that's all I can think of right now.
thanks for the info jonny5, how many monos would i need to do? i know that they like to be in groups.
Not normally considered, Alcolapia alcalicus is a very active species. it comes from Lake Natron, a brackish lake in Africa, and stays fairly small. You would probably have to special order it, because not normally found in LFSs
those are nice cichlids, but i doubt i could get some. Everything i read about them says how rare they are and that they are somewhat endangered. but thanks for the help!
