Decide which one of these you want, or if there is something else out there that you'd like, and we can give you more specific information. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Best dream tank ever. >.> More realistically, though, I'd probably go with two pairs of apistos (the aformentioned red flashes are beautiful), and a few cleanup fishes.

If you want color i would go with a school of tetras and work around that. It would help if we knew what you were trying to achieve with this tank.
