[cichla81]

Dollars are always cool schoolers lol. seriously though that's a good pick

 

[cichla81]

I have 4 ,2 of them are over 5 years old and are inseperable. but more does not hurt. barbs are asian don't seem to fit in

I would say that it depends on your aquarium. How many gallons and what are its dims? Personally I'd go with BAT's(Buenos Aires Tetras). They stay smaller so you can keep a larger school. Not to mention that they have better colors than Silver Dollars imo.

I would consider the tank size to be the most important factor. Tinfoil barbs and silver dollars get big! I've used tiger barbs, rosy barbs, red swordtails, giant danios, serpae (sp?) tetra; all depends on the tank size and fish housed there. With what you have, you could use just about anything, I think.
