The same one that challenges Valhalla? Odin will not be pleased.

woah..sorry bro, I don't quite get you. Did I missed out something ??

Sorry, just OT, The great halls usually refer to the halls of Valhalla, a norse mythology where vikings who have died valiantly in war go to in their afterlife, where Odin, the greatest god among the other viking gods rule over. Got over the top there, must be my days of AD&D and Diablo.

My brigittaes doesn't seem to be shoaling very often...is there any other cyprinids of same size but will highly shoal together?

anyone kept this fish before?
how long or how big can they grow?
currently i have 10 in my 2ft planted tank..

do they normally swim in schools or anyhow swim?
as from what i see, they scatter around my tank... [/QUOTE

If kept in numbers it will school, Brigittae looks like thishttp://www.aquariumfish.com/aquarium...id=4150&search

Well, I had death casualties with my brigittaes too... left with 5-6 pcs...sometimes they'll shoal, mostly will scatter around. I realise some of them will be very reddish, while some are more pale.

try using commercial blackwater extract, it might help to calm the fish. A cheaper and effective method which I have tried, but not sure of the long term effect is to a drop of Ocean Free General Aid solution into the tank per litre. Somehow, your mortality rate will drop. Since it is really cheap, can't really complain about it. So far my plants or invertebrates don't seem to suffer from it.

Great Hall is actually in reference to the Great Hall of the People, in this case it refers to fishes.
