If your going species only a single spectabilus would be nice fish to have.

RBP's have no business in a 4' long tank anyways.

I second the gulper catfish idea, very enjoyable cats.

Auto feeders are fairly cheap and very reliable.

What kind of water do you have?

If you don't want to use an automatic feeder, RBP are a good option, just going to warn you, they are not a fish that will swim around all the time, and they are not a huge predator, most of the time they are spooked by the food. I still recommend you those fish, they have pretty colours, and its fun to see them eat. You could even try to put a pleco with them

RBP would be fine without food every 4 days as adults/sub adults. And they literally eat everything. Pellets, anything frozen, etc. You could use an auto-feeder with high protein pellets when they're young. Get a large group to start with because when they establish themselves in the tank, it's difficult to add others.
