Lampeye Killi

[~T~]

Can anyone give me some basic info on these guys. Basically I want to keep a small group in a 40gal planted tank with galaxy rasboras and dwarf shrimp. Will I have any aggression problems with them and the galaxies and will they hunt all my baby shrimp(I dont mind if they eat a few).

I just bought 6 of these!

They're a fairly peaceful fish, so i dont think you will have any aggression problems, and they're so tiny that i dont think they will eat the shrimp.

They get about 4cm and are easy to breed. They are better being in a small group of at least 5 or 6 in a planted tank. Lighting should be subdued or have a really dense cover of floating plants.
Apparently, they thrive in soft slightly acidic water.... Fairly easy to keep really.

Now problems here with Lampeyes just provide a strong water current/flow.

Had a bit of a cichlid tragedy so I didnt bother my #### to go get the lampeyes. I'll maybe leave it until the tank settles down anyway.
