The colours on your males are brilliant!!! What were you feeding them - their mouths are so small ! Thanks so much for your reply and help - nice to hear from other people’s opinions and knowledgeVery nice little tank set up! Like the layout and plants.
I have had CPDs before, very nice peaceful little guys and their colours when they’ve settled and at their peak can be stunning and very very nice little fish.
Would suggest a group of 6 minimum as these are fairly sociable but skittish fish as can be a bit easily spooked so the larger the number of them the better for them really.
Here’s a pic of a couple of my cpds I had before. Might well get them again one day

Great little fish have to agree with you and you most definitely should get some more 
Whats another few fish hey 
I have a decent sized group in my tank but as they’re always darting in and out of the plants it is very difficult to count - best bet is when I tap the glass and they come out for breakfast 
There are around 10 in there approximately at the moment unless I’ve counted some twice! The males do this wiggling at the females and I wondered is that a courtship thing
Some of the males chase each other as well which is a bit wild but guessing it is all normal?

Welcome to the mad fish person's meeting place.....where the only things that bite are the passing Piranha (and occasionally a Mod
glad we are all mad here!
Awesome glad they’re all at least being natural as you can hope for in a tank!All those behaviours are sounding pretty normal so no real worries there as you have plants and hiding spaces that help to break lines of sight, so looks good to me and having 10 of them is a good number, probably max for your size of tank but ok.
I fed these guys mainly hikari micro pellets, live or sometimes frozen cyclops and daphnia and suchlike.
You can get other types of fish food, just simply grind the larger pellets up into tiny granules and these guys will eat those, actually now I’m starting to remember them more they were greedy little gannets!
Avoid feeding them bloodworms, these are too big for these little guys, made that mistake once and was watching them almost choke on these bloodworms, never again!
Counting them, especially when they dart in and around plants can be annoying, did I already count him or not, here we go again…1…2….3…4… stop moving!!….5….6..
Sometimes best to count them at feeding times and take a few pictures whilst they’re feeding, makes it easier imho.
Certainly will not be going above the 10 (if it is actually 10 because my counting is poor! ) they’re enough to handle as they are totally agree haha! I might try them with daphnia one of the days as they’ve only been having cyclops bless them 
Grinding up food what an amazing idea would never have thought of that! Yes they are greedy!!!! They go crazy when the food goes in The joys of being a fish parent no one tells you about the counting Can imagine a lot of small fish are the same 
Fresh meat to nom-nom!
Hey there! Thank you so much ! The more plants the merrier I always say
Is it a large tank or a nano tank? I have been tempted many a time by those tiny red cuties ! Can’t beat cyclops for those tiny mouths ! Bug bites is a wonderful idea for them ! Wonder what these tiny things eat in the wild... is it insects or tiny microorganisms or what?! Such impressive tiny creatures 
The Chilli are in a 100 litre SE Asian-themed tank. They share with Copper Harlequin, Cherry Barbs, a Panda Garra and Tyrion, a male Dwarf Gourami...and now lots of assorted shrimp; Caradina, Neocaradina and Wood.Hey there! Thank you so much ! The more plants the merrier I always say
oh my god how cute
Wow that sounds totally awesome what a lucky bunch of chilli’s 🌶 Will check that out would love some inspiration! I will be sure to check it out - thanks so much for the warm welcome !
your tank is lovely! Welcome aboard
