Serpae Tetra

[Auratus]

26 gallon show tank with the following fish.

1 rubber lipped pleco (1in)
2 yellow panchax killifish
1 paradise fish
1 cherry barb
1 oto
I want something for the middle of my tank since everything I have stays at the top and bottom. Would a school these guys work? I really like them and finally may have room for some.

Yes, I don't see why not. They can be a little nippy in my experience but not bad.

My one and only experience with Paradise Fish was that they were nasty little sods! Wouldn't keep them again.

I've had them for about a week now and they haven't touched the paradise! They don't bother the killis and one even swims with them every once in a while. It's working out great so far.
