what fish enjoys strong current and the top part of the tank?

Any come to mind off the top of your head? Do guppies?

perhaps needlefish.

african butterflyfish like the top, dunno about currents

Danios will move to wherever the current is. "Ordinary" fish but a lot of fun to watch.

thanks i will have to refresh my memory on the different types of danios...

Any live bearers come to mind?

tropicfishman · 11-24-2006, 07:29 PM

mollies, guppies, maybe swords?

Hatchets love the top and the current

My sailfin mollies hang out at the top a lot. danios are a bit "ordinary" I guess, but they sure are active.

i love danios

they are super fun and active, and have gorgeous metallic colours when they're happy. i think they are overlooked!

Another plus for danios, be it 'ordinary' zebras or whatever, is you will not have to deal with the inevitable population explosion like you would with livebearers.
