That's the one! Thank you

Slightly random question, but I'm trying to find the name of a particular fish which I can't remember. About 1 inch long. Looks a bit like a small cichlid. Red vertical stripes Blue "shine" all over Males more colourful Blue trim to pectoral fin "hovers" in amongst plants at low level, have...

Couple to consider: Espei rasbora - similar to harlequins but smaller, more colourful & tighter shoaling. Rummynose tetra - one of the best shoalers.

Espei rasbora - tight shoalers. Forktail rainbows - not shoalers green neon rasbora - not realy shoalers. ember tetra - not shoalers. ......

Espei rasbora (narrow wedge harlequins) shoal quite well & are smaller and more attractive than standard harlequins. I used to have green neons - lovely fish, but they weren't great at shaoling.

Does that suggest that they may not be great with an hc carpet....

Will be looking out for these. I understand they need well oxygenated water - are they OK with a CO2 system?

Just bought 6 yesterday for £15 for my nano - looking forward to them colouring up.

First fish I ever bought were 7 rummynose tatra, 2 years ago this month - 6 remain.

I agree. But if you can't find it / get to it, a small army of shrimp would help get rid pretty quick.

IMO rummynose are the nicest, close schooling fish - stunning in a planted tank, but mine are getting pretty big (for a suposedly small tetra!) and tend to stay near the bottom..... why I didn't suggest them

Espei rasbora (narrow wedge harlequins) - similar to harlequins, but nice copper coloured stripe, stay smaller & school tighter.

List getting there now :wink: 2/3 appistogramma cacatuoides triple red 6/9 forktail rainbow fish (fructatus?) 12 narrow wedge harlequins 4 otos Another shoal of small schooling fish?........... (will be a 4ft tank - 150ltr ish :D )

Cheers, Like I said, it changes al the time!..... I like the idea of a pair of centre piece fish, rather than 3 or 4, so: 2 (pair) & a. cacatuoides 2 whiptail catfish 3 otos 9 threadfins - 3 male, 6 female 9 or 11 celestial pearl danios I've heard that the threadfins would not apreciate the...

As always, my plans keep changing...... I've gone off the minnows & I've heard that cacatuiodes can be pretty agressive, so 2 german rams (pair) 12 - 15 threadfins 4 otos ...... and a small shoal of something else - needs to be close schooling - any suggestions???..........

I'm setting up a 3ft tank (circa 100ltr) and was just thinking of fish ideas. Ph will be around 7-7.4. So far I've got: 2 Apistogramma cacatuoide 12 - 15 threadfin rainbows 12 - 15 rummynose tetra OR celestial pearl danios OR vietnamese white cloud minnows (can't decide yet?) 4 otocinclus 4...

That was an option, but as it's only 70ltrs, a few more rummys & I'd be full up. I fancy a bit of variety in there. One day I'll get a big tank & have a massive shoal of rummys :D

My green neons all have NTD. 2 have gone and I expect the rest to die soon. I am trying to decide what to get next. They must be small and be able to live with my breeding CRS. I think I'm down to celestial pearl danios or endlers, but not sure which. What do you think?.......

Green neon tetras - sometimes called false neons - much nicer colouring than the normal neons (less red with a more turquoise than blue stripe), and smaller. rummy nose tetra are great shoalers, but get up to about 5cm. Both look great in a planted tank.
