The Green Tiger Barbs!
Green tiger barbs. Pretty fish. Orange highlights on fins, tail and face. These guys are very active, swimming all over, doing little dances, playing/fighting. You name it, they do it. Hard to get good shots of them because they move so fast.

I have 7, it is recommended that you keep packs of 5-9 so they won't nip the other fish. They seem to like to chase cory cats. Mine leave my swords and Kuhli loaches alone but do pick on the cats when not involved in spats with eachother. Mine range in size from 1/4 inch up to 1.5 inches.

Odd behavior:
"Standing" on their heads.
Pecking gravel in a circle dance.
2 twisting in circles for minutes establishing dominance.
Terretorial: they like my gargoyle archway the best. The biggest one likes the cave when chased by others.
