Fish suggestion (for an art piece)

[JuiceBox52]

I’m about to start a mixed media art piece.
It’s longer rather than taller, so I need a less full bodied fish (not German rams, hatchetfish, most cichlids or fuller bodied tetras like skirt tetras etc)

Something preferably colorful, but not too many intricate patterns

I prefer the look of the body shape of a lot of tetras or rasboras for this particular piece but many killies, rainbows and other cyprinids also work

Great suggestion! However a pictus cat doesn’t quite fit my vision
(Unless you wanna buy the piece then I’ll do it only joking)

Trying to stay away from catfish, I do like them but not quite fitting for my vision

I mean I said in my OP that no full bodied fish would work

[Rocky998]

Oh! What about a halfbeak species? Maybe a gar?
Most gobies or gudgeons as well....
