I was wondering, what dither fish are there for coldwater ?

also, can someone list some tropical dither fish besides tetras.

Danios are practically "the" dither fish. My zebras know their job well, and never cease doing it enthusiastically.

Danios temp range is like 72-75Â°F atleast for the giant danios...

an extremely active fish that makes shy fish feel safe and encourages them to swim out into the open

my understanding of the definition involved attracting aggresive behavior from males to give the females of agressive fish a break durring spawning.. I didnt think that sounded like a good use of fish..
If what your talking about works.. good deal.
