With your name, why not go for the larger danios or devarios?
Bengal Danio [Danio devario], Moustached Danio [Danio dangila],
Giant Danio [Danio aequipinnatus] and if you can find them Queen Danio
[Devario Regina].

Always pushing those danios

Congrats on that incoming tank!

 

[daniodude]

maybe giant danios, how big do they get, how many for a 20gL, and would I be able to add another kind of fish for a little more variety(even though You can never hav too many Danios)?

Of course, I'll not be happy until the whole world has enjoyed them

I would have 5 giants and you can add any other community fish with them, mine even have Dwarf dainos and WCMM's with them and are no bother. Giants can reach upto 15.2 cm so they may require a longer tank in the future, try getting the Bengals, they are very similar to giants and only get to 10cm.

How about a Blue Ram (Microgeophagus ramirezi) or a Bolivian Ram (Microgeophagus altispinosa) if you want a South American cichlid that stays small?

I saw an add for like glolight zebra Danios, they turn red under a blacklight, are they dyed, and would they prob./ get along w/ giant danios?

Glow light danio are a natural species (danio choprae)
They will grow to 3cm as adults.
If however you are refering to Glowfish(tm) then they are genetically
engineered with jellyfish dna and IMO are not worthy of keeping.

 

[daniodude]

If they are genetically restructured, I have to agree, not as bad as dyed fish, but buying them still supports the market of genetically engineered fish. which I dislike severely

If you still want cichlids (haven't read whole post, tires) a 20l would be best, for more territory
