You have serveral choices:

2. Horadandia atukorali
3. Dario-dario
4. Bumble bee goby
5. Knight goby
6. Indian glass fish.

Best of luck. I am also working on an Indian biotope project.

well said sir, also they seem t require very frequent foods or else they get shrunken belly. BTW where to source them from?
