Help me create a list of small fish species

[Jag1980]

Very cool fish, I never even heard of most of these fish before, thanks

These fish I would be interested in housing in a 50 gallon tank:

Endlers (Poecilia wingei)
Dwarf Pencil fish (Nannostomus marginatus)
Ember/Fire tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae)
Sparkle-eye Whitecloud (tanichthys micagemmae)
Galaxy Rasbora (Celestichthys margaritatus)
Chili Rasbora (Boraras brigittae)
Boraras micros
Furcata Rainbow (Pseudomugil Furcata)
Black Morpho Tetra (Poecilocharax weitzmani)
Scarlet Badis (Dario Dario)

Any other fish I should add before I make my list and take it to the pet store?

Pristella and Gold pristella tetras. (the golds are really beautiful!)

Just fyi, bumblebee gobies are brackish fish. Sounds like you didn't want them anyway, but just in case anyone else was considering them. I have them in my brackish F8 tank, and they are way cooler than any of the pics I saw online.

Not all BBGs are brackish water. The information that they are all brackish water is outdated. They are fine in hard alkaline waters.

I love endlers. I had some and decided to put them in a 75 gal tank. Took them back out because it looked like an empty tank! I think they look better in a smaller tank like a 29 gal. But thats just me

I like penguin tetras,rummynose tetras and brilliant rasboras.

Still missing from the list are Heterandria Formosa and Micropoecilia Picta but with some of your current selections they may be too small. The Heterandria are very nice but they are truly small.

Congo tetras look really cool, especially once they've been in your tank for a month or two. They get about 2".

congo tetras actually get pretty big for this application, i had a school of 10, the males get to be about 4 inches including their (glorious) tails.
i also agree that more fish of less species is more fun.

more on point, i LOVE galaxy rasboras, they are very small (about an inch) with red fins, and black bodies, with tiny white spots all over. in fact many rasboras are small and colorful, and in my experience, are a little hardier than many of the small tetras.
rummynose tetras are also really great in a school, and stick to about an inch and a half.
