Centromochlus perugiae, a beautiful small schooling catfish
Like Sushant, I would strongly urge you to try White Cloud Mountain Minnows since they do well on good quality dry food also, remain small, and breed constantly in mossy tanks, especially.
Green Neons
Rainbow Gudgeons
Clown Killifish
And last but not least, a fish species, that if you can find, I will offer you a silver trophy right away : Sarcocheilichthys parvus
The last has been called the perfect aquarium fish and is small, beautiful, and easy.

And now, if u ask me where to find them, I will take your leave right away

'Stunning pink seam'?????sushant wrote:Any small tetra will look good,you can also go with black skirt (widow tetra) they develop stunning pink seam as they mature.
I have kept this fish as a school kid. Have see it sold right left and center for ages. Never ever seen any colour but black or silver (or the albino absence of coloration which is the colour of flesh)... Where have u seen this stunning pink seam fish?

Re: Need advice in selecting fishes.
So now my search start for cloud mountain minnows. I suppose 2 dozen mountain minnow along with 6 ottocinclus affinis will be enough for 90 X 45 X 45 cm tank.
As I know cloud mountain minnows are available in two color variants. Which will be best choice?

Re: Need advice in selecting fishes.
May not be a good idea as minnows prefer cooler water (not exceeeding 25 degrees) while Neons prefer warmer waters (not lower than 23 degrees)SCORPIO wrote:What about a group of cloud mountain minnows and neon tetras?
