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 surg : Sarcocheilichthys parvus

The last has been called the perfect aquarium fish and is small, beautiful, and easy.

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?

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?

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)
