Hey all,
Although my dwarf gouramis, odessa barbs and orange laser cories are brilliantly colourful, none of them really 'pop' or 'flash' under the lights like I know some cardinal or neon tetra would, they all kind of blend in a little or keep under cover in the plants or shadows the majority of the time.
Are there any other small alternatives to the tetra mentioned which have such an iridescent colouring or 'glow' which would really stand out from the plants.
I was thinking of a small shoal of 8 to 12 max of something pretty small as I'm probably getting near the stocking limit for the tank.
This is my 125l fluval roma, standard t8 lights, 1200lph external, pretty low tech nowadays, bit of ei ferts very occasionally.
Current fauna is: 2x dwarf gourami, 8 odessa barb, 2 orange laser cories, 6-8 unknown rasbora (supposed to be chilis but werent) and my two remaining endlers guppies as well as a healthy herd of cherry shrimp.
Thanks
Adam
