alright so i know the whole "at your own risk" thing with the RTC's but im looking for some nice looking dither fish or just a nice looking fish in general that is a mid to top swimmer at around 10 inches the could go in my 240 while my RTC's are in the process of their grow out stages until they can be put in a pond.

any ideas will be considered. i would just like something thats going to be contantly moving while my 2 lazy RTCs are chillin on the bottom of the tank.

and be colorful if you can :)

any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
 
maybe an arowana? mine never stops
 
i thought about that. but wanted to see if anything else would work... kinda hard to find 10-11 inch arrows locally
 
any others?
 
Pacu
 
i would put a pacu but. im just not a huge fan. i want something pleasing to look at and watch
 
I have been thinking the same thing.
What about a school of giant danios. they get about 5" and are really fast. I doubt a larger RTC would bother trying to catch them
 
hey check out my album for some tankmate ideas...
 
thats is true. i has giant danios in with my other RTC for a long time and he didnt even try a go at them. but i was thinking of something bigger. something that gets a desent size but doesnt hit more than say 20 inches... in that range. i love dovii's but not willing to risk my RTCS over them. just trying to get some opinions i am brain dead at the moment.
