BooUrns! Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 What kind of tetra grows to be around 3 inches and is not a fin nipper? Congo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 If congo tetras are kept in a group, they stick mainly to themselves. You can also try rainbows (not tetras). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolalex Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I find that my red blue columbians aren't nippy in comparison to the other fish I have in with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I would also recommend columbian tetras. I had a group of 5 with my angelfish and they were never nippy. They are also very pretty with bright blue bodies, and bright red/orange fins. They look similar to dwarf neon rainbowfish which would also work as I currently have some in with my angelfish(the columbians died) and they have never nipped.

nighthawk Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 My Diamonds (Moenkhausia pitteri) are pretty big; I am not sure they are at 3" yet, but they'd get close, and are friendly with the other tetras in the tank. They also breed like rabbits. :boxed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrosionjerry Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Almost any Rainbow would be a great fish... I have never seen any Rainbow nip etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
