Also I think you will find that the Cardinal Tetras are a stronger fish compared to the Neons.

Apostolis Fingerling Posts: 19 Kudos: 14 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Apr-2005	...no comments about the fish??? White clouds prefer lower temperatures that the others and neons prefer soft water... and what do you mean by "small tunnels"? what for? ..and eels would LIKE it very much being with smaller fish, especially if you do feed them properly and regularly...

Also, eels are scaleless fish and will prefer a small, smooth pebble or sand substrate. PVC pipe makes good caves and tunnels for eels, and you can coat it in aquarium safe silicone and roll it in gravel to give it a more natural look. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

TheCrow2794 Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 41 Votes: 3 Registered: 07-Nov-2005	no eel they need sand so all of the above letter plus the figure 8 puffer and a separet small tank for breeding and that will also be the homes of ghost shrimp Last edited by TheCrow2794 at 17-Nov-2005 16:23
