The damnbusia can do that, in spades! Forget *formosa* -- they are way too
small for most community tanks! [6th or 7th smallest known vertibrate, I
think.]
If you don't insist on breeding them, a few male *Jordanella floridae* are
peaceful, very colorful, and will hold their own with most fish, including
many of the cichlids.
Some of the less usual Poecilids are good, too. I like *Poecilia mexicana*,
the Mexican Molly. Irridescent blue and green colors are more subtle, until
the male shows his breeding orange and black striped tail. Then they are
truly spectacular.

"DEMOCRACY" is two wolves and a lamb voting on lunch.
"LIBERTY" is a well-armed lamb denying enforcement of the vote.
