Default Fish Suggestion Wanted

I used to have a bookmark to a site that would let you punch in various
requirements, then give you a list of fish that met them. I can't find it,
though, so I am looking for fish suggestions.

I am trying to find fish that meet these criteria:
- small (1" or so)
- freshwater
- pH 7.8
- planted tank
- compatible with Corys
- not bottom-dwellers
- schooling would be nice, but not required

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you,
Dave

Tetras are good schooling fish, neons or glowlights look real nice and are
in the 1" catagory. Also get along weel with the spotted corys that I have.

Harlequin rasboras make a colourful contrast to corys.

This is what I have in my tank right now, and they do go together
just fine. I'm thinking about adding a couple more rasboras, in
fact, to enlarge the shoal a little bit.

Thanks Frank, but I think maybe you're confusing me with another Elaine
because this is my first post on this group, although I've posted on
alt.aquaria.tropical.fish.hobbist a few times.

Anyway, the same to you and everyone else.

Yes, I just have 4 at the moment, because that's all that would fit in the
tank when I got them early this year. But following several losses of other
fish over the last few months, I'm thinking a few more might not go amiss.

Hi, Frank. I got busy with schoolwork. But I'm back too. Welcome,
Elaine K!

Oh - and I totally agree with harlequins. They're tolerant of higher pH
and stick together in an unusually tight shoal.
