I would go for badis if you can get them there one of my favourite mini community fish. Dario dario/Scarlet Badis are one of the best looking IMO. Maybe have a look online and see if you can order them.

Yeah that wasnt to smart of a thing to say lol. I used to be but ive went off them and prefer bigger cichlids and catfish now. I still like wild bettas though just betta splendens dont do anything for me anymore.

I really like them aswell and at just over 1" fully grown there great for tanks this size. I want to try and get a pair of Badis sp. 'Buxar' for my 15G but i think that will have to stay as a dream because ive never seen any type of badis around here let alone a rare type.
