    Bold very small schooling fish?

    Maybe I should just get more habrosus which I already have 12 of. Find them rather bold, but there is no other fish to be afraid of.

    Don't seem to be available here, but yes I agree, could have been a nice choice!

    newly baught freshwater neon gobies ( stiphodon semoni )

    Well it's quite better than liquid when it comes to getting nice plant growth. It also lowers ph so if you have fish that like that it's a plus as well.

    Interesting! Do you have a picture of the tank you keep the kubotai in?

    Bold very small schooling fish?

    I agree with you on the habrosus, they stay on the ground. Therefore I was thinking of adding a school of pygmeaus since they aren't as bottom oriented. What do you think?

    I was thinking more like 20 corys or so. And yes, those neon greens are great jumpers :)

    Hi, I have 20 trigonostima espei in my 84 l tank and debate if I should change them for some other fish. I find them too big to really fit into the scape. Boraras will jump out and are too shy. So a bold schooling fish, smaller than the espei, who like to stay in the water is what I'm looking...

    If you just search online, I shou think it's hard to find an uk retailer. Don't know which lamp that is :( My tank is only 84 l so your is actually roomier :) with canister co2.

    newly baught freshwater neon gobies ( stiphodon semoni )

    I feed them repashy "soilent green" maybe 4 times per week. They also eat the more meaty food I give my corys (although they shouldn't). My tank is 22 cm high and 120 cm long. http://imageshack.com/a/img921/8491/bwBClC.jpg

    newly baught freshwater neon gobies ( stiphodon semoni )

    I have Stiphodon percnopterygionus, and here it's quite easy to tell which are males/females, colouration and fins are completely different. They do need a lot of O2 to thrive and good circulation. I have my pair in an 84-l shallow tank with two external filters pumping 2100 l/h.

    I had two pairs of stiphodon in my tank, now there is one pair left. My biggest problem wasn't aggessivity, never saw them fight. But they were quite hard to get to eat enough food. Think that's the primary reason two died.
