I do have room, and that actually sounds like a good idea. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for something I'd like to use for dithers.
Bubble Ram?

If it is only an inch long. chances are this is a juvenile and may not display all the colors of the species.
either way. blue or bolivian.. they are great fish to have.

Anyone have any ideas for some type of passive dither fish I could get a small school of in a 33g long planted?
I do like short finned Black Skirts, do you think like 6 or so of them would do well?
Edit: Just wanted to add. After having him in the tank for a few days and having him eat up well and relax some from the trip home it seems he's showing a little more color. He does have a bit of red on his fins and a small amount of blue specks on his body. So I can assume he is a short bodied blue ram that some of you have described. Is that the same thing as a "Balloon Ram"? If thats the case I was sold what was advertised afterall!
1 DG, the ram
2 White Cloud Mountain Minnows (which I may give to a friend)
5 cories (all small so far, non much bigger than in inch or so)
1 oto (will get 1 or 2 more soon)
1 hillstream loach (also small, about an inch and a half from head to tail)
2 ghost shrimp (both about an inch or so themselves).
So right now the DG is the biggest one in the tank.
I'm also interested in picking up a Boesmani Rainbow Fish, though I don't know much about them. Would one do well in this tank setup?
Here is a picture of the tank as it stands, sorry for the crappy pic. I have a cheapo camera.
bosemanis are very active and reach 4-5" long plus need groups...55 gallon is a minimum IMO. praecox rainbows would be more suited to your tank size.
With your stock you could go with a group of blackskirts, maybe 6-8 without the WCMM's.
