Hmmmmm what to get, what to get?

I don't intend for dithers necessarily, I want a cohesive tank. Besides, I don't have much need of dithers, the polys will get along just fine if everything stays fed well enough. The knife might get a tad aggressive but with as many plants as I have, there are going to be plenty of hidey holes for everyone to get away from each other.

Understood lol

As for tigers, I agree, they school really well but I'm not too sure I want something so "common" per say. I have a tendency towards the oddballs, the weirder the better! That being said, I'm not going to be picky just based on that.

Roseline Barbs would be cool. I want to get a school but they are expensive.

I have long thought about roselines as well but as you mentioned, those little guys are pricey!

Petsmart often times has them and when you time It right you can get them for a steal with coupons and sales.

Looks like you need some movement in that tank.

How about something from the Barilius family?

barilius canarensis
or
barilius bakeri

These fish remind me of miniature trout...always on the move.

Or maybe a school of Bedotia geayi? These guys remind of miniature snakeheads. The photos I found online don't due them justice. I had a small group of these and they were really cool.

Yup! Gorgeous fish.

They're really "robust" fish too.

If you want something a little different get a group of Exodon paradoxus, about 10 or so.

I recommend against the giant danios with bichirs I had 20 I my 125g with mine and the speed and constant movement seemed to keep my bichirs in hiding
