The Great White Hand Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I got 11 rummy-nose tetras from Craig (Lambo) for my planted discus tank. Its been so long since I added new fish that I'd forgotten how enjoyable it was to see new fish enjoying their new home and their impact on their tankmates. the rummys like flowing water so they love playing in the external filter inlet pipe along the back, now the cories and the rams are doing the same thing. I sincerely recommend this fish to anyone with a planted discus set-up, very attractive and they seem to school so nicely. I intend to replace my harlequins and neons with rummys as they expire.

Adrienne Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 TGWH - what else do you have with the discus that works well and have you had any fish that simply didn't work out in the tank with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great White Hand Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi adodge I have a pair of blue rams 1 BN 6 cories 11 rummy-nose 12 Harlequins 2 Neons 1 SAE 4 Ottos's 4 Discus (2 breeding pairs) A pretty textbook planted discus set=up. I run the tank at 28.6C, too hot for Harlequins and neons and some cories (Sterbai are good, Peppered like it cooler) Only thing I've noticed since the Discus have started breeding (have a thicker mucus coat for the fry) is that they attract the ottos's ( a few people seem to have this bother, particulary when not a lot of algae around). I had a dwarf gourami to start with I wouldn't recommend one with Discus Regards, TGWH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi there TGWH, pleased to hear the rummy noses are settling in well. Still haven't been able to replace them with anything yet but theres no hurry eh? Cheers, Lambo(aka Craig) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
