What tropical fish do you have?
- Thread starter Doodles
- Start date
The Rummys have only been in a week, they are quite skittish and as you say, stay near the substrate, as do my Neons.Lots of Tetras
How are they all behaviourwise?
I find my Rummynoses to be a little skittish and tend stay lower in the tank. They have plants etc for cover if needed and do keep grouped together.
Forgot to add to my list
5 Kribs
The Penguins are the opposite, stay near the top of the water column, there are 10-12 of those and I think the Black Neons think they are the same, they swim with them at the top.
Rummys definitely keep the tightest shoal.
The glass bloodfin are in a separate tank, the only fish in there other than C. Panda, they alternate between shoaling and doing their own thing.
Not good with the latin names of some but other than plecs:
Tetras - platinum(Hemigrammus vorderwinkleri)this is the latin name I am getting for this fish but images seem to be non existent on the internet,
ember(Hyphessobrycon amandae ), black widows, neons (Paracheirodon innesi),wild green neons(Paracheirodon simulans) and cardinals(Paracheirodon axelrodi ), rosy tetras (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus)and x-ray(Pristella maxillaris)
I like tetras and plan on making one huge group of the species I already have apart from the black widows. Black widows are a bit crazy but I like them, just not sure I should add more. I would like to add loads of ember tetras but was a little worried about the angels. The embers in there have stayed the same but the angels haven't finished growing.
When I see the xray tetras shoal I like those and think of getting more but can't make my mind up. Cardinals always look great, I have plenty choice.
I also have oto's(otocinclus affinis)I believe to be this type , cory sterbai and some angels(scalare)they have quite a lot of blue and red colouration on them along with the wild colouration,look very like altums but not sure what you would class them as? Also a fan shrimp(atya gabonensis) somewhere which I didn't bother moving.
Kitchen tank - cherry shrimp , amano shrimp and celestial pearl danios.
I love rasboras/danios and was considering setting up another tank for only one species and creating a biotope. Not really into breeding stuff even though it is nice to watch them grow. I get too attached to stuff anyway and aquascaped tanks are good to watch at night with the lights off before bed without all the hard work.
I'm lazy.
