I've added 8 Rummynose tetra to my 110 litre tank! They're the only fish in there! Half of them have lost there colour in their tail and I don't know what to do. One of them has left the shoal and is on his own floating. Please help
How old is the tank? Is it cycled? How are the levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate? What is the temperature?
All of these factors could have something to do with it.
How long have you had the fish? Have they seemed like they were ill before?
As they are so new some fish lose colour due to stress they may just need to settle in but keep an eye on your parameters as they are the first fish you will see ammonia and nitrite spikes
Glad to hear your fish are doing better. New arrivals often take a while to settle in.
It was just then in shock from being out in the tank, they are im assuming fine nowRummy noses are known to have problems like this, unfortunately. Possibly you added more at once than filter could handle. Good luck.whartvare tank parameters, ammonia and such.

Any tbh but if you want a tight schooling fish like the rummies I would go with bleeding heart they don't school as tight or harlequin Rasboras, but you only have a 110 liter I wouldn't go to much more
Cories are hard to take care of and require very pristine water, one of the few fish that do not handle nitrates, they recommend a planted tank, cannot disturb the substrate a lot when doing a water change
Just remember if you go with schooling fish they recommend 6 but the low number is 3 of that same fish meaning you have to watch the bio load because you will have min 11 max 14 if you go full 6 which is recommended as they do better.
Do not get barbs, rummies are good in a tank with calm friendlies companions
Found some usual info while looking for tank Size requirements
About your rummie turning pale
When the fish is stressed, its red coloring gets pale significantly. The fish’s flesh fin and fluke are whitish, when the other fins are completely transparent
