Fish Ideas Anyone?

[windhopper]

Ok, ive got a juwel rekord 800 planted tank, roughly 29 gallons or so. Recently had a mass die of due to a complete accident and therefore am left pretty much fish less. Mum has decided shes taking over the tank colour scheme, but shes not a fishy person. I've got some cardinals (4 right now which i intend to increase to 8 soon) and 2 angels, soon to be 3 (i am aware of sizes these fish require and have had no problems with them and even bred them before), anyway; i have been told - by powers that be in my house - my next additions must be a gaudy bright orange colour. So anyone got any ideas? doesnt have to be a shoaling fish just gaudy orange, or anything else bright and eye catching.

Thanks,
Jorel

Platys, swordtails, guppies, some mollies are orange.

Gold barbs are orangey yellow and active fish as well so you could try those... You can get some really insanely orange guppies. My LFS had some but if there is an official name for that colour strain I'm afraid I don't know what it is.

Just because you've kept angels before without any problems doesnt mean its right to keep them in that tank, its simply not high enough, its the equivalent of keeping a dog in a cupboard.

As far bright orange fish, probably swordtails would be the best option but you wont fit many in a 29 gal as they reach around 5" so only 4 max

will the angels not try to eat the cardinals?

The rekord 800 is about 18" high so is suitable for angels IMO
Cardinals are bigger than neons, so it is a bit hit and miss, but I think it may be okay.
Cories would also be a nice addition.
