But otherwise you're fine.

What about cardinals, rummynose, black neons, glowlights, (if you can find them big enough). Or maybe consider a larger breed of tetras, like red serpaes, lemons, black widows, white skirts, columbian, bleeding heart, head and tail light... GAH :%) just look at them here

I have had luck with angels and glowlights, others have not. Angels are cichlids, and cichlids are known for having the biggest and strangest and most individual personalities of fish.

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	My angels never even look twice at my rummynose tetras. However, I suspect the reason the smallest ones went missing was the angels. Basically, if the tetras are large enough, you shouldn't have a problem. It also depends on the personality of the angel. They are cichlids, so you never know what you're going to get. EDIT: RuMMynose, not runnynose! :%) [span class="edited"][Edited by Janna 2004-08-20 01:41][/span] They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

My angels never even look twice at my runnynose tetras. -- Gomer [span class="edited"][Edited by Gomer 2004-08-20 01:41][/span]
