I was thinking about getting some tiger barbs to add some flavor to the aquarium, but given the other fish involved, I figured it would be best not to. Can anyone think of some good ACTIVE schooling fish that aren't quite as aggressive as the barbs?
 
It's a 29 gallon, and will also have some cories, a redtail shark, and maybe a ram or two. Since the barbs wouldn't be too pleased with the redtail or the rams, I need something else.
 
My scissortails school very well, but aren't very colorful, is that important?
 
It would be nice, but I'm mostly just concerned about having an active fun to watch tank. Are there any specific tetras or rasboras more rambunctious than most others?
