ok well my red point pair (rio monga) have bred and the female has been laying it to the male (think he ate all the fry LOL cannibal) they also slayed my raphael it's a 30g bow with them two only I need a fast dither rather stay away from tetras but I can stand some. ideas?? Something stays small and won't add alot to my bio I love crystal clear water I do weekly changes and nitrates never get above 10 would like to keep it pretty close to that

Barbs. Tiger barbs don't get huge.

I've got livebearers (goodieds, and platys) in with my pair of green fliers. In theory not only will they be dithers, but their fry should help condition the pair to breed... in theory.

Yeah Barbs are pretty good. Just be sure to do three or more. They can take a good chasing cause they all take turns so none will be killed or over stressed.

Australian rainbow fish are perfect dithers as they are super quick, quite hardy and don't grow enormous.
