IronChefItaly Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hello! I am looking to add some schooling fish to my current tank and am looking for advice / suggestions. My aquarium specs are listed in my signature including the critters i have. A couple things i am looking for are... less than 2.5 inches fully grown (prefer a smaller / slimmer bodied fish) I intend to add 3 - 5 fish depending on the minimum school and adult size to keep a manageable bio-load inhabit the middle to top portion of the tank (bottom of mine is pretty busy) schoolers and compatible with the rest of my fish Thanks for reading and i appreciate any advice and or suggestions!

SuperGuppyGirl Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 What about pencil fish? I picked up some coral red pencil fish at Aquarium central and love how they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronChefItaly Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks for the quick reply guys, those pencil fish are actually quite interesting and i will look into them more. I will most likely check out that auction as well and as for rummy nose i'm not a huge fan of their appearance but i know they are a great fish.

Wgcc1 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 My favorites are neon/cardinal Tetras and harlequin rasboras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJIsaac Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I enjoy the Flame Tetras they are small and as good schoolers as the neon's and Rasbora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amiskiman Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Rummy nose tetras! They are so awesome to watch when they school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsbatson Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have some beautiful Albino Congo Tetras that hang around the top part of my tank and are really cool. I also love to put Rummy Nose Tetra with Cardinals. Great color combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
