Hey guys, Im new here in this forum and this is my first post.

So this coming August, I'll finally be having my first tank after about 3 years. I'll be housing a pair of paradise fish in a 35G tank. Any suggestions on tankmates?

What I have in mind:

Cichlids (anyone can suggest a smaller and less aggressive species that can handle 24-26 C?)
Larger species of tetras
Zebra Danios

I haven't figured out which tankmates to go with it yet. Something that grows up to 4 inches and hardy. Any suggestion would be very helpful. Thank you in Advance..

Some of the South American dwarf cichlids would probably work. I just got some red breasted acaras (Laeticara dorsigera) to spawn, they have a very wide temperature tolerance and might work well with paradise fish. They are quite peaceful except when spawning and even then are not overly aggressive.
