Bright green

[Vikesfankevin]

I'm looking for a bright green fish that stays under 3 inches. In my tank I have orange, red, blue, gold and rainbow. Are there any fish that are a bright green that I could add to my 29?

What sports of fish do you have already? That'll help with compatability.

I can't think of one off the top of my head that is a bright, bright green, but there are green tiger barbs (and likely other types of barbs, too). Those will likely be a little agressive, and many here don't recommend putting them into communities (I agree, too, FTR).

The only other greens I can think of are puffers--and you don't want those.

 

[Alaris]

Agreed. We're going to need to know your current inhabitants (and how many) before we can recommend a fish.

However, there are green neon tetras: Green Neon Tetra - Paracheirodon Simulans if you can find them.

O yea sorry. I have tetras. 5 neons, 5 glowlights, 5 gold tetras, 1 guppy and my bottom feeders

Actually I got 2 they tend to stay in back tho and was looking for something a little more florecent i guess you would say...

 

[Johnny Tuttle]

Well, scratch the green tiger barbs, but there are likely something greeny in the more peaceful barbs.

The green neons would be perfect (and a nice suggestion). Is there also a variant of flame or bleeding hearts that's primarily green?

The other option is to find a guppy, platty, or swordtail that's green. The swordtails raised with more wild genes are themselves mostly green; the other colors are fruits of breeding for aquariums.

Get yourself 4 more and they will shoal, all over your tank. - Frank

Green Neon? Yea a guppy might work since I have one already.

Gettin a couple peppered green corys in a few weeks when they grown up. My friend breeds them. I think they will shoal.

I agree. Definitely up that number of corys to see more outgoing behaviour.

The 2 swim around together all the time they just dart around the back of the tank not the front lol

They will wander throughout the entire tank if you increase the number to 4 or 5. Just like tetras which are a schooling fish, they feel safer numbers and will roam throughout the entire tank.

Ok well hopefully they will school with the peppered ones. They look similar. The peppered ones have green spots.

You have peppered corys? I thought from your reply that you already had 2 emerald corys. I don't know if they'll all hang together or not.

I have 2 emerald green. My friend breeds peppered corys.

 

[black hills tj]

I am not going to say that they will school together. They will get along with each other, but you will most likely notice a separation between the two groups.

 

[Vikesfankevin]

well maybe I will dish out the cash to get a couple more greens then
