Fish prices change with the seasons...it must be Otto season at the moment cos I've seen em at 6 for a tenner. In the summer they can go upto a fiver each.

I had congos a few years ago, and they were probably the most aggressive fish I have kept. They reminded me of mini piranhas...their teeth were visible to the naked eye! They also finished of a team of Amanos. I can't think of any really alternative...maybe dwarf neon rainbows?

Right, I think we have made our points of concern to Jason, can we cut him a little slack now. He has posted a vid showing there is not a lot of flow in one of the corners of the tank. We all learn from these kinds of processes.

Again, that's a nice pic! What I meant was, that you'll sometimes see white spot on the other fish you bought. Also, rummys tend to have a greenish spot on their heads where that spot is.

It normally appears on finagle first. Not normally on the head. What do the others look like? And yes it's a good shot mate!

Whenever I'm at the queens medical centre, I always nip in there, they always have some weird and strange species in there.

They're in wheatcroft garden centre in Nottingham...a bit far from you.

I'm using jbl grana at the moment, the fish seem to love it, great colours too. JBL Grana CLICK - Aquatis Fresh water - JBL

Green neon tetras? They school really well.

Looks like he's ready for a partner, if he hasn't already got one... This is a natural coloration coming through.

Yeah that looks like a male and female Pyema. Good find!

Yes mate, it's the MA at wheatcroft. They also have vailantis in also.

T Hey tony, they have them in wheatcroft garden centre at the moment in Nottingham. Bit far out of the way from you, but I have seen them in there.

Have a look at the natural coloured honey gourami, these are lovely little dwarf gouramis they do better in groups as well. They colour up nice as well. They will sometimes be quite dull in lfs's but when settled they look great.

I have noticed over the last year or so that this is quite hard to come by! My suggestion would be some five banded barbs (if you can find em), here's mine, they get to about 5cm's

Tetra prima the best food I have used....brings out colours brilliantly.

Re: Are there any Dwarf Cichlids suitable with Cherry shrimp Yep agree with darrel, I added a cac to my tank air wiped an entire shrimps colony of about 100 in 2 days... Last week added 2 electric blue rams to my tank and they haven't touched any yet. There are plenty of places that the shrimp...

I had a group of these when I started with an open top and lost them all.

I always found the albino ones to be the most active...i have my own theory on this, cos they're albino, albinos normally are nearly blind (all albino species), this makes them more active and sociable. Pass me that honorary degree in animal sciences please!

i'd say up the schools as they are shoalers by nature.

i have seen Tetras do this when they are caught in the shops...you always think there's a floater in there, but then they bring themselves back. I'm sure it's a survival technique. I have never seen it in a settled tank though.

i personally wouldn't worry to much if they are nibbling as they are such a small fish...they don't need a lot of feeding.

agree with Clive...i always have carbon in my filters, love the stuff. Again, i agree regarding the old leeching back into the water myth, after reading an article regarding this, apparently there needs to be a massive Ph swing in the tank for this to happen. It was a massive swing as well.

cheers for that Al, interesting little things though.

i'm not sure i believe that statement, as they do look like morphs, but you never know. Thank for finding those though. They do look good in there, they blend in well with the other tetras.

looks like we have a winner! thanks Tim so it says, that these are the true x ray tetra??!!

thats exactly what i found Al, they are tiny as well, they just fill the space left in the tank nicely.

heres one of mine panda glowlight tetra by Ian Holdich, on Flickr anyone?

hey guys, just wondered if any of you have heard or seen these?? Just got hold of a small school as they look ace... anyone know of a latin name?? i'm sure they will be a albino of some kind, i'm not sure, they aren't an albino glowlight. heres a pic (care of google) Panda Glowlight Tetra...

I reckon you'd get 9-10 in a 40l thats well planted.

they do better than other dwarf cichlid species in harder water, but they don't do great. I think George is right...I was chatting to the guy i got mine off and they will do upto about 12-14Gh, but will only last a couple of months in anything higher.

i also had a school of these in my last scape, they were brilliant little characters. These were a fiver each, my neighbour is now a proud owner of them. Very nice fish. cpd01 by Ian Holdich, on Flickr

i have a shoal of these in my tank at present and yes they shoal very well and stay really small heres mine

i would go as far to say add the Otos, i always have had them in about 6 week of a new scape/tank. As Long as you feed them they will be fine.

i say that you may not have a colony in a week or 2. They will pick off most shrimp, especially if they are acting up with them already.

Thats ace! do you keep shrimp with these?

yes it was curved. Very strange, as i say i have had this group for a year or more.

Thanks for the reply, the Oto was dead this morning. Its all very strange as i haven't done anything different.

he's out the tank now and in my nano, i shall keep an eye on him/her. It's really starnge as i have had this group of Otos for a year or more now. He's acting normal. cheers for the link.

I mean what is the crack here! I have had these group produce fry, is he/she pregnant or has he/she swallowed a ball bearing?
