I don't know what it'll cost, but other than the unnatural rummynose, I would go tank to tank as I burglarize your fishroom. I hope you get a male brichardi. They're really something.
 
The rummy nose are the same species I got the other day,. but this is a different ( higher end ) supplier... hoping they are in better shape... all the Prestella's are still alive & well, but only 1 ( out of 6 ) Rummy's made it 2 days, in the South American tank...

I'm thinking of calling of calling the African tetra tank, "Dark water from the dark continent"... I'm surprised how tannin stained that one's water has gotten... I'll have to take any pictures, after water changes, just so the water is a little lighter... it's not as dark as when I put a bag of peat in the filter, back when I had bad water... but the almond leaves & drift wood are giving it ( in my opinion ), just about the right color

@GaryE the 3 Red / Blues I currently have are exact same scientific name as the Red's on this order... they are the same species, at least from the names I was given... they should shoal together???, & could likely spawn as well ( even though breeding is not my purpose... but I could down the road, if I had a spawning pair, of any of these, move them to a breeding tank... I tried buying more Red/ Blues, but got the last the seller had... I would have bought more Reds, but I thought they were too expensive... I hope they are worth it...
 
I've never been able to find anything that said the red and blue are the same species, or that they are different ones. Hopefully, someone else here has found a paper. I've never seen the blue ones locally.
It's not a well studied family of fishes. But all my "Alestids" shoaled together, off and on.
 
Thanks… the rummy nose’s go into a South America tank… the African’s go in this some regular Congo’s ( interuptus ) and some blue brichardi… added to those, pretty much completes the dark continent tank, except for some dwarf petrocolas, after I can move out 3 albino Cory’s
