40g breeder plans...

[Rocky99843 3]

I changed it because it seemed too expensive for that other plan and plus it felt like there would be "too much" color... So this I think will do very well in my opinion but I wanted to make sure that everyone thought this was a good idea as far as compatibility... As far as I know all these fish should co-exist just fine

The red-eyes aren't the best choice....very boisterous, especially at feeding time...and sometimes, fin nippers

Bario sanctaefilomenae (Red-eye Tetra)

Formerly Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae. The red-eye tetra, Bario sanctaefilomenae, is a characin from Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, living mostly in clear rivers that feed the Pantanal. All fish in the trade are captive-bred in huge numbers and are unfussy about water chemistry and diet...

It says that if you keep them in numbers of 6-8 (I'll be doing 11) that they won't be much of an issue with fin nipping... But maybe I'll think about a different fish. I really like those guys though. They were perfect in the way they schooled and looked. They were not too colorful and had nice big scales. I also love the way they somewhat tightly school... Any other fish that can compare in some way? (I REALLY want a tight schooling fish to go with the pseudomugil)

Rummynose tetras, Hemmigrammus rhodostomus...beautiful, peaceful, and probably the tightest "schooling" tetra there is...they happen to be my favorite Characin, as well

Get a bunch of them, at least 12...you won't be disappointed

Hemigrammus rhodostomus (Rummy-nose tetra)

This is the 'real' rummy-nose. The species most often sold as such is, in fact, the firehead tetra, H. bleheri. These 2 are very similar in appearance, as is the 'false' rummy-nose, Petitella georgiae. The 3 species can distinguished by several factors. The first, is by the extent to which the...

I'm gonna be completely honest
They are like my least favorite fish... I don't know why, I just have never really liked them

I know this is colorful but what about glowlight danios (danio choprae)... They are kinda cool and school as well

Blasphemy, this is!

The danios would be fine I suppose, but no experience with them

 

[Rocky99843 3]

I KNOW, I KNOW

I love the way they school and all but I just really dislike the red on their face and the black and white pattern on their tail combo...
Just has never appealed to me at all lol

Ok! I may do them! The wholesaler for my LPS has them!!

 

[Rocky99843 3]

But any other ideas are still welcomed

I am really lost on what schooling fish to do lol

Definitely doesn't do the red eyes with the pseudomugil. They will not do well together.

See, I LOOOOVE the way they school... But I just don't like their color patterns...

Yah... I know now. Thanks.
Apparently they fin nip

 

[connorlindeman63 4]

The rummy nose are dope. If I didn't have cichlids in my 40g I would get a bunch of those.
