I have a very nice community set-up at the moment with only one species of
blue-eye (Pacific- btw which _Pseudomugil_ is this?), along w/ 4 _M.
praecox_, a pair of bettas, a small _Ancistrus_ ( > 1inch), 5 rummy-nosed
tetras. Not all rainbows, but a nice combination. Might (for contrast's
sake) be better to replace the rummy-nose w/ silver-tips (one of my
all-time favorite fish)- my tank tends to be heavy on the red-blue-violet
end, though the blue eyes add some nice yellow and black.

P.S.- not sure if where in Oz you are, but there is a great place for
rainbows in St. George (S of Sydney)- not only are tanks labelled PROPERLY
(no hybrids here), they always have a current list out front of what they
have "in back." Often have some wild stuff, always have at least 7-10
different species. I'm not sure if they have anything that rare (I'm fairly
new), but it's good quality.
back to lurking.
