Thanks once again for the suggestion (beautiful rainbowfish by the way!). I'm going to write down a list to bring with me when I visit one of the local shops this week. I've been online visiting various sites and just looking through my seemingly endless options (yup, still researching). Another fish that has caught my interest is the Dwarf Gourami. I think these fish are beautiful. So far I've found that they like planted tanks and they prefer to be kept in groups of 3 or more. If this info appears to be inaccurate, please correct me. However, I am sure my local shop has some. Does anyone have a particular opinion on them?

So now I've got 2 possibilities for a community tank (guppies, cherry barbs, cory cats), or a tank focusing on Dwarf Gouramis as the main attraction. The rainbowfish looks very interesting, although I don't remember seeing them in my local stores. They are certainly beautiful though!
