What if we don't want those? Is there something else in the tetra family that works as well? Im looking for info on people with experience. Bleeding Hearts? Von Rios? Blues? Rummys? 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

Bob Wesolowski Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004	A good recommendation is Rummy Nose Tetras. Hardier than either neons or cardinals, they are also less likely to be snacked upon than a neon. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

What about Head & Tail Lights Tetras, Lemon tetras, Diamond tetras or Pristellas? Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
