Top Dwelling Schooling Fish...

[Chri$]

I am looking for some top dwelling schooling fish for my 20ukg planted tank.

Preferably something active and peacefull. All i can think of is Hatchets but i'm not to keen on them.

Anyone got any ideas?

I agree with Vancouver, White Cloud Mountain Minnows are a lovely fish. They colour up a lot more as they get bigger.

Hatchet fish?

Don't hatchets fly out of the water several meters though?

they can jump, i dont know about the flying several metres part (flying fish??), but if you've got a lid on they arent going anywhere.

hatchets are lovely, i would say them too.

Arn't they best kept at lower tempuratures?

My tank is currently running at 25c

They would be fine in your tank. They can be kept as coldwater fish as far as I know but I have some in my community tank which is about 26C.

Thanks for the advice - think i'll go with them

Keep an eye out for the Gold Minnows too, I have them as well as my Whites and they look lovely together.
