confident open swimmers

[JackGillett]

any know of or keep an attractive confident fish that swims midwater to the upper levels to go in my Ls tank?
cheers

Harlequin rasboras. They don't care if you walk past tank, look in tank. Easy to keep, not aggressive and nice looking.

 

[JackGillett]

great cheers

Some of the tetra types might be suitable too, i have rummynoses and they are nice fish but quite skittish imo.

glowlight tetras look pretty good as well.
just get a massive school and they shouldnt be shy.

Ive always liked Congo Tetras myself

 

[JoePlec]

dunno if they are suitable but i seen some platys the other day and they were split down the middle half purple and half yellow. anyone know what type they are?

What about Cardinal Tetra,look fantastic when keep in large shoal and can have no problem being kept at high temperature tank.

 

[L273]

cardinals are ok but some L's don't like a high temp. not the hardiest aswell depending on whether they are wild or captive bred.

Ember tetra's are very confident fish. full stop brilliant!

Bleeding Heart tetras are a good one too. They are a little larger, keep to themselves, and are pretty hardy. :thumbup: Mine always stay in the upper half of the tank.

Dwarf Gouramis are very pretty and stay top to mid water

Here is a picture

Black Neon Tetra - really good dither for dwarf cichlids or smaller L's. Cheap to buy, and colour up really well in good water. Also upper tank level orientated.

Also like Lemon Tetras, although they are more bottom orientated and better fry hunters.

Lemon tetras are very underestimated, lovely things.

Anything in particular you have your eye on Jack?:dk:

 

[bigbird]

hi I also like the Harlies, found in our local fish store today Purple Harlequins....wow not bad....cheers jk

 

[GrubbyGirl]

I got some blue tetras from Jo, they are nice bold fish

 

[Mooo]

Gotta agree with Doodles, Harlequin Rasbora are stunners...get lots, they look awesome in a big shoal...
Most tetras would be a good ...Or Endlers...

 

[dw1305]

Hi all,

blue tetras

that is a good call, either of Hyphessobrycon columbianus with bigger plecs or Cochu's Blue Tetra (Boehlkea fredcochui syn. Knodus borki), if you can get good stock.

cheers Darrel

thanks guys nothing inparticular just something that will be out in the open. But im thinking.. if im changing the water to encourage spawing would this take its toll on some fish? cheers
