Picking out fish

[Courtney8526]

I'm trying to decide what kind of fish I want in my 5 gallon planted tank. I have red cherry shrimp in there also. I've narrowed it down to either ember tetras, boraras maculatus, or boraras sp. Any opinions on what would look better with all the green & my shrimp? Or does anyone have any other suggestions that may work better?

The Micro Rasboras will be less likely to snack on your shrimp, although they may still make a snack of the smallest baby shrimp.

I agree with Joy, You may be able to get by with a couple of male guppies.

I just saw some lyretail fancy guppies today... They are really pretty!

I ordered some of the Rasboras and they should be in on Wed. I'm excited to get them in!

I got them in yesterday. They are so tiny so they are hard to take pictures of. They are also very active. They have some really pretty color to them though. But here are some pictures. They aren't very good but you can get an idea of how cute they are. I even got a shrimp in the background of one of the pictures.

Thanks! Next I'm wanting some of those nice zebra ottos but that may have to wait a little bit.

Cute little guys they are. I never seen one before.
