Fish_Tank Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Those are some kind of tetra....by the looks of it they are either red phantom tetras or serpae tetras (i'm hopless at ID :roll: ) bronze corys should look somthing like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Definately not. It's some kind of tetra but can't find an exact match in the limited books I've got. Looks a bit like a Pristela but its a bit too orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish_Tank Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 pristella are more yellowy than orange. I'm almost certain it is a red phantom tetra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 NEED HELP ASAP: THE ONE IN THE PHOTO IS CHASING MY NEON TETRAS LIKE CRAZY. SHOULD I EUTHANIZE IT NOW ? Is it a risk to my neons ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Take them back if they're not want you want. And, if the salesperson actually said those were bronze corys, he should be sacked. But, you should really of looked up Bronze Cories before you tried to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yes, But what shuld I do now. Are these fish in the pics compatible with neons ? Im not worried about the cories. The fish in the pics is trying to school with the neons and scaring them. I trust it will be sweet until 2morrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Use the plastic bag you got it in, roll the top edges down, put some water in and chuck it in there and take it back tomorrow. What did it cost ya?? You could use a peg and peg it to the side of the tank, AND it's not really neccessary to use the same bag either.

Chris.L Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 You need more of them, BUT don't add anything else now. They're a schooling fish. Neons and these will get along fine.. [edit] if you want to get rid of them, do what Alan said [/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.L Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Stop rushing!! You were told last week to leave it for a while. If you add too many fish at once, it can't handle it and you'll have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
