Need advice in selecting fishes.

Unread post by SCORPIO »

Hi Guys, I need advice for selecting suitable fishes for my new aquascape "Himalayan Forest" http://aquapetz.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2706&start=20. Fishes should be schooling and small with vibrant colors. Also suggest the approx. number of fishes.

Thanks in advance.

Kept these earlier. Too small for this scape.

They are big in size. All other ideas are good choice.

Any small tetra will look good,you can also go with black skirt (widow tetra) they develop stunning pink seam as they mature.
