Suggest a tank mate for the Threadfin rainbows I recently got? They are in a 29 gallon with a sponge filter (just moved a betta sorority into my 75 that was in here and figured the sponge filter would make it a nice calm tank for them). I was thinking Black Neons or Rummy noses but I am not sure. Not going to get them until I get the remaining 2 females (at least if I don't grab another male and 4 females) as I only bought 2 pair the other day(what they were selling them as). Also would there be a good centerpiece fish for a tank like this or a good clean up crew? if not ill just let the males take the show and the snails do their job.

Pseudomugil furcata, Forktail Blue Eye Rainbowfish could would well.

Threadfins aren't great at competing for food, if memory serves me right, so some care is needed in choosing tankmates.

I asked a similar question on a Rainbow forum when i was starting with rainbows. I was advised to keep Furcata and Dwarf Neon's together as these are more boisterous and to keep Threadfin's with Gertrudae. That's what i did and it seems to have worked because all four species have spawned regularly.
