Fish Fanatic
So lately I have been planning to give my white tip tetras back to my lfs because they are bullying my other fish although not enough to harm them.
I was thinking of getting some tetras of the species hemmigrammus bleheri mainly because they live in the negro river like all my other fish do in the wild because this is a biotope setup,but also because they look interesting mainly because it looks like they are using facial paint like the amazon rainforest natives.
What are some other uncommonly and odd fish in the aquarium hobby that you can find in the negro river ? I am mainly thinking of smaller sized fish that can still fit in my 145 l setup although they should be peaceful and not dangerous or agressive like angelfish that would rather eat my tetras for lunch and that also includes huge predators like red tail catfish and vampire tetras .
I was thinking about odd fish like the south american puffer fish but the problem is that it needs hard shelled food and it's teeth have to be kept from growing too long just like a rabbit.
