Welcome to the list George. What business are you in, and
whereabouts are you?
I'd look at Dicrossus filamentosus, as they are fairly easily
available, and absolutely stunning in good water. These could then
be housed with Cardinal and Rummynose Tet's and the like,
always popular amongst casual viewers (i.e. non-aquarists, the
poor creatures) Many of the Apisto's which prefer very low T.D.S.
can be difficult to find and fairly pricey.
Some of the West African fish would also be O.K. in very soft
water, but these can also be expensive.
I would guess that there will be a list member within reach of
wherever you are, which will facilitate obtaining stock.
