Besides neons, What are some colorful fish that don't hide and move around a lot? I need to get som more fish and I wanted to know what are some nice one's that don't hide. Active guys.
 
are you looking for schooling fish? If then I keep harlequin rasboras, columbian tetras,and cardinals.None of these have ever hid in my tanks(except for when i first added them to my tank).

As for fish to avoid, I would not buy red eyed tetras again.I have 4 and have never seen them out swiming around except at feeding.And i have owned them for 2 years.
 
Yea, I'm disappointed with the red eyes, they are always still in the top back of the tank and only move when I feed. I would trade them back and get more rummynoses instead, but since I don't feel like doing all that, I won't. I'll look for those harlequin rasboras.

Cardinal Tetras look good!
 
I have a little school of pearl danios, just like zebras but without the stripes... they are all white, but as the name suggests, they are all pearly - so under the right lighting the flash and sparkle all sorts of different colors.

Very pretty IMO :D
