xzackly999:
Great choice with the apistos IMO.
Are you having any issues with the rainbows being too boisterous for the other fish?
I briefly added a few boesemani rainbows to my tank and 3 cardinal tetras died overnight so i got rid of them.

Ron:
Thanks for the compliments!

Honestly, I got them because I was hoping for a little more action in the tank and fish that would be in the upper region of the tank. They do hang around up top, but they are really quite calm and spend more time hanging out in one place than they do cruising the tank. I wouldn't consider them boisterous at all.

The most boisterous fish in the tank is the red-tailed shark. Normally he's cool, but every now and then he chases the other fish a bit. Having all of the structure in the tank, he's not really picking on anyone too much or for too long. No other fish in the tank are anywhere close to boisterous IMO.

I would second that in a way in my 90 tall with German reds, Zrocks, bozmani and turquoise. the Red male is running the tank 90% of the time and the rainbows are just having sex at the top.

I know its a little different in my case but I think rainbows are generally pretty chill

xzackly999:
Interesting.
I ended up going with Furcata Rainbows, they hang out at the top and are very energetic.  My cardinals and rasboras stay in the middle and don't seem to mind.  When I get my 125-180 gallon aquarium maybe I'll experiment with some of the bigger rainbows again, I really like the Chilatherina Wapoga and Boesemani.
