Regardless of what you choose they will have to be all males as a tank of that size would be extremly over stocked very quickly. If you want colour and more fish I suggest guppies as they are a smaller fish.

Why do you want either of those two species?

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

three or four male platies would look nice and you could add some dwarf cories in there for bottom feeders.
