Dithers?

[Sarahmander]

So my 100 gallon needs more life in the middle. My bichirs hang out at the bottom (obviously) so during the day my tank looks kinda empty. Current stock is 2 sen, 1 del, 1 leopard bush fish, a big rainbow shark and some mollies that haven't been eaten yet. Will be adding a moke from Rocksor soon. Any dither suggestions that won't end up as an expensive snack?

Congo tetras and the red ones add nice color. I’ve had filament barbs and had great movement. If u got plants then need to forget it but with most barbs.

Anything 3" or bigger should be good. Some larger Congo tetras, diamond tetras, bleeding heart tetras. Larger barbs like denisons, filamented or spanner. Barbs will probably eat your plants. Some mid sized cichlids acara, geos, Thoricthys, angels. Might be ok with giant danios.

I’d go with. School of spotted Silver Dollars. They inhabit the middle and stay on the smaller side.

Tiger silver dollars grow faster than spotted silver dollars in my experience which may be something to take into account when choosing.
