I am a fan of Espei Rasboras and I feel it's my job to push them on everyone, so...job done!

They do look nice but as my tank is only 70L I don't think 2 shoals would work...although you'd only ever see 1 lol

Just get a pair of Nigerian Red Pelvicachromis.

Had to do a quick search lol they look great but I think the tank is just too small....I was going to up the number of CPD's do you think that may make them a bit braver??

 

[minnnt]

Possibly. But it could be an expensive experiment if they're no different after adding to their numbers.

The reds would be fine in there

May look into them a bit more then as they look great. Yeah CPD's are known to be quite shy so i'm sure upping the numbers would have minimum effect.

Flog em tizer and start again.

A mate has got some micro rasbora's and they're ace. 30 of them would look great!

I looked into them before and wouldn't mind some... may move the CPD's to a different tank and then move them in a great idea!!

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

like the chili/mosquito ones?

They do look nice...boraras brigittae?

 

[minnnt]

Yeah they're the ones! Amazing colours.

What about a shed load of cherry barbs or melon/5 banded barbs?

Lemon tetras are sweeeeet too.
