All bumblebee / tiger freshwater fish

Hey all,
I really like the look of "bumblebee" or "tiger" fish, such as Tiger Barb, Bumblebee Goby, Clown Killifish, Clown Loach...

Can you think of other fish that exhibit the same kind of colors (large banded)?

Bonus points for suggestions

PS: yes I wish I had a clown fish!

How about Botia loaches? There are several kinds (Yoyo, Angelicus) and they're sort of stripey. Sort of spotty, too

Leporinus.

KuhlI loach.

There are some striped Pleco varieties but they're pretty expensive

Wild-type Angelfish have stripes!

Oh! And that fairly recently discovered Tiger Betta;D

Convict cichlid.

Thanks Aquaphobia, all those are great recommendations. None that I'm going to go with though... But great anyhow. I still don't know how I'm going to stock my new 30G tall (15"x15" footprint).

Oh, you want really tiny stripey fish! Do they have to be fish? What about freshwater tiger shrimp? Genus is Caridina (I think).

I found the dream option I was hoping for : Five-banded Barb. They look great, only a little less sexy than the tiger barbs but at least they are a peaceful bunch!
