At the moment, depending on what type of filter you have, I'd be thinking about maybe an apple snail or a large ramshorn snail. Are you planning on filling out your schools or moving the molly or one of those groups to a different tank in future?

I would take out the fry and the danios and increase the neons as they do better in schools. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
