Getting new Tetras or Harlequin Rasboras soon!!

PheonixKingZ · Jun 11, 2020

Hey TFF! I'm going to get a school (or shoal?) of either tetras (lemon, rosy, etc.) or some Harlequin Rasboras! (Pretty much whatever they have in stock. They have a sale running and I want to take advantage of it!)

I may even get Silver Tip Tetras. I'm just so excited that I will finally be able to add new fish.

Harlequin Rasboras are my personal favorite!! They school very nicely too!

Harlequins are gorgeous and they look nice in a tank like that. I recommend them!

Ok, thanks guys! I should be able to buy a nice group of 8. :nod:

I should get these on Tuesday, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Yes, definitely post pictures!

PheonixKingZ · Jun 11, 2020

I definitely will!

I’m not 100% set on them though... they have the competitors of Silver tip tetras, rosy tetras, lemon tetras, etc.

I should go to my LFS Tuesday. Crossing my fingers, and hoping that they have 8!

The harlequin rasboras are prone to disease

You can't go wrong with either. Harlequin's are pretty. Lemon's are cool too. I like Lemon Tetras because of a wonderful experience I had with them about 20 years ago.

To keep them from giving it to your new fish.....and to make treatment easier.....
