SO, in my 75g tank I have:
 
5 redwag swords (red/orange and black)
2 marigold swords (orange and yellow)
2 variatus platys (yellow and black)
1 sunburst platy (yellow orange)
5 black skirt tetras (grey and black)
1 opaline gourami (kinda a steel grey/blue shade)
2 bristlenose plecs (brown)
3 julii corys (silver and black)
1 syno eupteras (brown and black)
 
 
 
Im looking for something with noticibly different colors that would still get along with the rest of the tank.
 
Any suggestions?
 
I was worried sydney (syno) would be too territorial of the bottom of the tank but he seems to be getting on fine with the plecs and corys....
 
Check out rainbow fish - - They are great schooling fish and many different patterns/colorations.

Pracox, threadfins, Boesemani...some for you to start checking out

Are they going to be something that blends in with my oranges/greys/blacks...or something that pops and catches the eye?
 
rams look like they'd blend.... and be overshadowed by the orange in the tank.....
 
What colour is your gravel/sand - the thing with the rams is their bodies are really white compared to most fish which are a silvery/grey. To me this makes them stand out without neccesarily bing that colourful.
 
If you can find them, blue platys are beautiful. And of course fit in with everything you already have.

Sounds like an idea... was hoping for something that wasnt another livebearer since i already have so many, but the colors might make it worth it
