Any recommendation for Characin/tetra from Tocatin

[Edmundo]

Hi Guys,

Been search the web for tetras from Tocatin, rapid flowing condition. Is pike characin the only option?

I did found Lemon Tetra but seem like it is more suitable for densely planted calm water condition in Tocatin, i suppose Ember Tetra too.

Ideally easily avaliable in sg market, otherwise may have to shop abroad is required.

My tank set up is 3x1.5x1.5 with sand bed and couple of rocks of various sizes. Will be 1 or 2 dw to mimic broken branches lying on the bed.

Thanks in advance for any valuable input.

This link has a discussion related to what you are asking. In it, some suggestions were Triportheus and Chalceus species. The thread will give you a clearer picture.

Thanks mate.

look like Triportheus albus, T auritus and T trifurcatus are characin from tocantin but don't think easily available in sg? Or have they ever landed here?

Ever seen them before locally but they look like "tamban" fish so I don't think they are popular here. Spotted Chalceus before at C328 but I think they get large. The snout almost always have damage because they keep banging into the walls.

Ya indeed it does look like Tamban food fish. Looks like i need to go for other mates. Currently i introduce a L24, maybe a group of cories
