What smallish fish

[OohFeeshy]

My mum's moaning that I want another tank when my 15 is still empty. So what small schooling fish can go with a pair of cockatoos? Preferably fairly hardy and active.

harlequin rasboras

I was thinking them. Is there anything more colourful? Apart from neons and cardinals. I hate them.

EDIT- what about black widows? AKA black skirt? Would they be too nippy?

color? who needs more color then this?

don't let the fish shop bland color (pale with a pale black triangle if they're anything like the way they are at my lfs) fool you. They get a great orangy red shine to them that really does almost glow, plus if you've got cockatoos don't you want their color to be what is standing out the most in the tank anyway?

as you can see I'm a H rasbora fan.... I'm not sure about the white skirts I've never kept them with dwarf cichlids before.
