around here you can get a 1' common for like $20 i think...
 
I think colorful clown loaches will be a good suggestion, they are not aggressive at all. Of course you have to find a large one otherwise......
 
i wanted a flagtail for its purpose, but havent been able to find one, plus they "resemble the barbs". Loaches, i agree, would be a great addition if i could get like 5 big ones because they grow too slow to keep up with the tank. but they'll "resemble the Datnoid" also =/

Just buy a couple of tiny flag tails from your LFS. They grow about 1" a month if you get them small. Just feed them bloodworms everyday until they reach the size that you want them to be and them train it for other types of fish food.

By the way, I bought two 2.5-3" flagtails almost a month ago and they are now almost 4" Bloodworms diet of course.
 
thanks arkmann, ill look into it. i havent seen flagtails around ever since ive learned about them though, and ive been visiting the LFSs throughout the year.
