duanes what are some good reproducing dithers you have used for some of your cichlids?

In my cooler tanks for cichlids like Gymnogeophagus, Xenatoca eiseni worked well, and in more tropical tanks wild type swordtails, and mollies. I like the wild type because they seem to blend in better than easily spottable orange or red line bred varieties. I also like that they don't draw attention away from the cichlids.
Many swordtail fry would end up in my planted sump simply going over the overflows.
The fry below are Xiphorus mayae.

Sailfin mollies also worked well for larger or smaller cichlids, topping out at almost 7"
