Which Rainbows.

[Bebobb]

In my 40 gallon breeder, I plan on having

2 Keyholes
1 Angelfish
8 Sterbai Corys

And I want some schooling fish. I was thinking tetras, but then I started to think about rainbows, and I would rather have rainbows. What type of rainbows should I get? I like the look of Neons better than I like the look of Bosemanis. The tank tempature is usually about 78F. Which one do you think is more suited for my tank, and how many should I get?

Boesemani would be too big anyway, require a minimum of a 55g IMO, so Praecox (Dwarf neon) would be better. 78f/25c is fine for them.

Minimum of 6 to make them feel secure, 2m, 4f would be best, males have red tails, females orange/yellow tails.

Oh, I didn't know that about the Bosemanis! Well, I guess I will go for the Dwarf Neons. I like the way they look better anyways!
