I'm looking for color, activity, schooling...which would you choose and why? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They're the best schoolers of the three, the most active, and are the biggest. These fish make a tank seem occupied, what with their constant dashing this way and that. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

They school together & are colourful. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	Snakeskins are very peaceful. They aren't likely to eat small fish although it's possible. Rummies cause I don't like neons or cardinals.

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	I would either go with cardinals or neons, depending on which ones you can get easily... heidi michelle "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

Alex Fish Addict 510 Posts: 721 Registered: 03-Oct-2004	it really depends happy rummies= the best out of the 3 sad rummies= not nearly as good as cards To keep the rummies all you have to do is keep water q up im sure an experianced fishkeeper like you can do that.

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	The Neons or Cardinal tetras would not get eaten by the snakskin gourami as they are very very peaceful. I would still go for rummy nose as they have the best and most interesting colouring, are the least inbred too, and school tightly.
