Micro Fish Ideas Needed
I have a 5.5 gallon planted tank which houses 4 pygmy loaches (I forget their name), an otto, and a peacock gudgeon. All 6 of them tend to school together but prefer the back corner of the tank. I would like some different ideas for a small group of other schooling fish that would look interesting and stay small. The only 2 fish I know of that might work are the celestial pearl danio and Boraras brigittae. Anyone have any other ideas?

I love killies, but I don't have a top on the tank, so I'd probably better stick to something that isn't going to jump out. That's a good idea for my 29G if I can find bigger ones though.
Re: Micro Fish Ideas Needed
ahh yeah they are little jumpers. I keep the surface of my layretail's tank covered in water lettuce and salvinia and im yet to have a jumper.^_^
good luck with your search !

My favorite schooling fish is still the harlequin rasbora. They are large, but Clark's has many size varieties with the same look, all the way down to about 1/2 inch. They have a ton of micro fish in general.

To Fyurae: I do like the harlequin rasboras. My 29G has about 10 of them.
To flo77: I REALLY want celestial pearl danios, but they were $12 a piece at my LFS last time I checked.
My three favorite I've found so far are: CPD, Brigittae Rasbora, and the Erythromicrons. Now I need to find and price them to see which is the better deal.

Re: Micro Fish Ideas Needed
I was wrong about the CPDs. They were 8.99, but that was still more than I was willing to spend. I ended up getting 3 Emerald Dwarf Rasboras and a Clown Killi.
