fish tankmates for hypancistrus

[young1nj]

Im looking for some tank mates for a hypancistrus tank where the temp will be around 82 - 84 degrees.

Ideally I would like to find some sort of dither fish that isn't too large, one that I won't have to worry about it picking on the hypans. One with color would be nice too.

I did some tank moving around today and the tank had to heat up to 84 from a lower temp and the neons in the tank looked soo much more brighter in color in the lower temp of 74. So I would like to stay away from adding fish that won't look there best in those high temps.

Buenos aires tetra, Congo tetra, Geophagus spp (excluding brasilliensis), panchax, festivum, keyhole cichlid, stripped barb, clown barb, spanner barb,

All of those i have used or am using and are all pretty fine.
