Joe Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 what about a school of neon dwarf rainbows they look great as a group? Gouramis don't school. Ther're sort of all over the place, rather than sticking together in a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Gouramis don't school. Ther're sort of all over the place, rather than sticking together in a group. As waterlogged said, they're Neon Dwarf Rainbow fish as opposed to Neon Dwarf Gouramis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Oh woops sorry, I misread that piece :oops: Dwarf Neon Rainbows are really cool too, and they will look nice with the Pseudomugil furcartus, so you can get both if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-obstacle Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Emerald eyes are pretty cool. My fav would be the mosquito rasboras though. Conchu Blue tetras are really nice, but more expensive. Hey P44 - I thought they were the one for me too but I spotted them in HFF this afternoon and they're nowhere near as colourful / awesome as I remember them looking in photos. Their colour is really subtle which I suspect could be enhanced with the right light (a bit of blue and a bit more red). Do you reckon they colour up as they get bigger / older?

phoenix44 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Conchu blues colour up a lot in a nice tank with plants. You need a decent number of them though or else they will fin nip :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffy Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Get some blood fin tetras they really cool and embers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hatchets don't school very well unless you have a big group and then they look fantastic. In smaller numbers they tend to pick on each other but they still are very cool. If you are looking for a smaller fish, I would recommend dwarf Tinwini danios. They shoal very well and the males colour up with red fins. I find them much more dynamic than many tetras that are more timid in their schooling behaviour. Unlike many tetras and rasboras Tinwini danios are always at the front of the tank. They are also very active and hardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 with the danios how do the react with ither fish? i have had little experence with them and have found danios to be more aggressive than tetras
