    2ft tank is not really big.
    Can consider small schooling fish like Boraras Maculatus.

    My all time favourite is rummy-nose tetra. Cheap and long lasting. My last one lasted 2 years. Stay away from tiger barbs. They tend to harass the other fish with their constant nipping. You may want to try rosy barbs. They are gorgous once they are climatised.

    yup endlers are wonderful. You can try galaxy as well. It is very cute and it explores your entire tank!
