Just got the filter in the mail!!!! About to set everything up!
I went to the pet store today and saw some fish that I haven't seen in person before! I really like the looks of them:
Congo tetras
Red/Blue Columbian tetra
Turquoise rainbow
Ohhhhh there was one more!!!! Grrrrrr I forget what it was called!
Does anyone have any experience with these fish?
Maltimomma said:I have turquoise rainbows and absolutely love them. When you turn on the lights they look like deep blue velvet. Very peaceful fish. Can't lose with them.
Ozydego said:Funny thing is my 55 sounds fairly close to this, AC70, heavily planted, tetras, gouramis, and angels... I also have an Amazon Sword that went through a rough patch but has been thriving again. For me, it was the temperature. I had an outbreak of ich and had the temp at 86 for 10 days, the Amazon HATED that, cut off at least 6 20" leaves that melted, doing well again though, I have inert gravel and use root tabs... seems to thrive, my normal temp is 74 deg.
This pic shows the Sword off really well...
