hi guys. as im keeping baby platinium angles soon.

Corydoras pygmaeus, mine is school in 4

and if you scared them they will all school together

I have 6 of them in 2ft tank.

Boraras brigittae also school when you scared them, for example after weekly tank cleaning.

im looking for mid ground to top level swimmers.. but cory pygmaeus grow how big?.. where to get them too?..
boraras brigittae too small.. the angles will eat them

2.5cm max. I can't remember where I bough but saw some at C328 las 2 weeks. It was in the small tank (maybe 15cm tank) in front of those Eheim spare part.

hmm hmmm hmm... any other schooling fish?..
cory are bottom dwellers right?

get Trigonostigma espei. beautiful fish and they do school in smaller numbers as well

harleqiun rasbora?..

**illumnae** · 16th Sep 2007, 23:41

close relative of it...different shaped black triangle on the body and it's more coppery red in colour than the harlequin

rummynose school in 6 to 8

There were some in one of the tanks at Y618 the day you sold me the nanas.

c328 should still have corydoras pygmaeus as well

It should be bright orange. It has a "PUMA" trademark on its body.

T. espei, good and nice schooling fish. Can get from WuHu @tiong bahru.

**illumnae** · 17th Sep 2007, 23:56

biotope has some too...the ones at biotope have been there awhile and are big and stable

**Quixotic** · 18th Sep 2007, 08:51

Guys, please try to talk about the fish and not turn this into a stock sighting thread? Thanks.

**andrewtyr** · 18th Sep 2007, 20:50

my best bet is c. hastatus, they are the best schoolers around. think 2 should do the trick.

**EvolutionZ** · 18th Sep 2007, 20:54

thanks for the offers!..
but i just got myself 3 black phamtom tetra from NA. and they are schooling!.. maybe they scared of my angels.. haha..
might be getting another 3!.

**illumnae** · 19th Sep 2007, 22:25

you got yourself black widow tetras, not black phantoms

**equidorz** · 25th Sep 2007, 21:41

rummy nose for me. they school really well even in a 5 ft tank..
