New guy with a simple question!

[KPhilly]

Okay, for starters let me fill ya in on the general details of my tank (if this even matters). My tank will be here tomorrow or Friday. It is a 100 gallon custom built tank. The demos dimensions are 39x20x27. I will have a sand bottom and live plants. Here comes my question. I already have a general idea of what bottom fish I want. I'm just curious about what fish I can get that swim at medium and high levels. Preferably peaceful fish because this is a community tank. Please, help a brotha out! This is also a tropical freshwater tank as well! Any advice is welcomed! Also, how can I keep these high level swimmers happy?Thank you for the help!

I would highly recommend a school of rainbowfish to be in a tank that size. The boesmani, praecox, or the red iranian would be great choices. Those breeds get to be 3-4 inches long and will have a bit more presence in an aquarium. While the celestial danios would be nice I think that they would be dwarfed by that size of a tank and wouldn't come through as a solid centerpiece fish.

Thank you for both of those answers and the help! Is there anyway you could post some pictures of those fish?

I haven't had much luck deciding what top water fish I want. What would you recommend?

Furcata or threadfin rainbows are also pretty options.

Some hatchet fish are great surface dwellers.

Will you post a picture please?

Furcata Rainbowfish is the one on top,
a type of hatchetfish (silver hatchetfish) idea is on bottom.

Your welcome!
