R. espei are very very much like the harlequin rasbora....just a subtle
coloration difference. I've usually got them in my tanks as well. In my
experience, rasboras are so much more mellow than tetras. Another
schooling fish I really like is the orange hatchetfish (Chela
dadyburjori):

I got mine at Blue Sierra a couple years ago. They don't get huge and they
school well. With live food they will be a nice orange color. The photo in
the German article noted above is the best photo I found...really looks
like my little beauties!
