Hi mate I have a trigon as well and I had a look at a couple of friends 190's when I was looking at getting mine and I saw one with quite large scholes of tetras wich arnt usaly my thing but have to admit they looked awsome in large numbers but I have gone for a chiclid tank with mine as I think they are great and there quite a hardy fish but any thing in reason as there is a lot of ground space in these tanks to acomadate most fish.

I have a trigon 190 and the most active fish/fun fish I have in it are 3 Siamese algae eaters, 2 yo-yo loaches, loads of danios an angel and ellioti cichlid.

I also have two big rainbow fish but personally think they would prefer more space/friends. If you go for smaller rainbow fish like threadfin rainbows or praecox rainbows it would look very active and colourful.

I've tried to avoid tetras as IME when they are relaxed they tend to sit idle in the water not moving much.

The problem I have with my tank (well, actually I quite like this feature) is the extra depth to the tank and all the hidey-holes and plants I have means that I rarely see more than half my fish at the same time.

build your stock around a shoal of congo tetras.
