12 Congo Tetras (nearly a year old) are the reason I am setting up my FW 80G (Innovative Marine lagoon) river tank. (already have the tank)
Moving over to the 80G...
There are 4 smallish Clown Loaches, more room as they grow.
And a couple or 3 Dwarf Petricola (Synodontis lucipinnis aka Synodontis Petricola "dwarf").
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Just looking for a smallerish but not edible preferably colorful fish, which group /shoal /school.
The Congos are 4" nose to tail probably about full grown.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>>><><><><><><>
Cherry barbs are one thought. I have not kept them before other than a loner which came with some rescued fish.
Although not as colorful also thought of Kyathit Orange Finned Danio or Gold Ring Burmese Tinwini Danio, but only get 2 inches and are mouth shaped.
Congos so far do not seem to have gulped up any current Neon tankmates -that I can tell, there are about 35-40 Neons.
Any ideas or thoughts? Or good (or bad) experiences with the Congo Tetras?
