Colour Co-ordinating Community Tanks

[MermaidMel]

I'm not going to get into species tanks, aggressive tank mates, fish that need 500 gallon tanks etc. just some nice ideas for peaceful community fish that would look awesome together because they are similar.

this is what im looking to do in my 250l rena aqualife thats recently been setup with black gravel and a few pieces of slate, want bold bright colours but all the same type! getting albino corys for the bottom and some shrimp, looking for a nice shoaling fish or livebearers to fill the middle of the tank up

For red markings? I'd have to go with Glossolepis incisus - Red Rainbow fish, I have an almost fully grown one and he is just stunningly beautiful
