Re: [GSAS-Member] colorful fish for tiny desktop tank

I have six of those micro rasboras in a 5.5 gal tank. I like them, they are 
very active and show up nicely against the plants.

Howdy -
I'm doing some research for my better half.  We've got the aquarium  
itch again and are planning on doing an AGA style teeny tiny tank (2-5  
gallons) for his desk at work.  I've pretty much convinced him to do  
cherry shrimp, but he wants some sort of colorful fish to complete the  
picture(I talked him down from a nano reef).  I turned him towards  
killifish, but according to the internets, they're jumpers, and this  
tank will likely be open top.  Another of his requirements is that  
they can handle slight temperature swings, he shares his office with a  
number of servers and the temperature ranges from 72-82?.  Neon tetras  
sprang to mind, but we're unsure how many would work in a tank that  
small, and how comfortable they'd be in such small numbers.  Any  
suggestions would help.

Thanks,
Laurel
