Very nice bobby, that certainly is an impressive school of lemon tetras.

[mollyb]

now that is a school of tetras. Nice. What are you feeding?, does the water take long to clear up?

[Momobobo]

Thanks everybody!

now that is a school of tetras. Nice. What are you feeding?, does the water take long to clear up?

In the video I was feeding egg yolk, they REALLY enjoy it. It takes around an hour to clear up running two large canisters.

 

[mollyb]

well, they look great, so it must be working, I imagine the egg yolk is just an intermittent treat food, the plecos also look happy with the veggies!.

Only the first 8 I got are in prime colour right now. The 40 I got from Pat are still abit pale Yes, the Egg yolk is just a treat I put in whenever I hardboil eggs for myself.

Lemon tetras are a bit under rated if you ask me, once they settle in and get used to their surroundings and diet that yellow will pop out! They do school tightly when i had my 2 dozen just my experiences and from looking at yours the same as well.Doesn't take a lot to make them happy, and will breed for anyone.Nice looking setup by the way, thanks for sharing your photos!

do you think these tetras would be fast enough to act as dithers in a sa/ca cichlid tank, i dont mean like angels and rams i mean like midas and other big guys, I am just concerned they would be lunch they would have to be hella fast lol..

I wouldnt mind a nice cloud of fish ripping around but at the same time i dont want a mobile buffet ...

lunch...

get some catfish, like porthole, they are always active and won't be lunch.

 

[macframalama]

alright thats what i figured, i just want something lol..... what else is new

 

[Momobobo]

Pictures don't do these guys justice, when they are happy they have a white glaze over the transparent part of their fins.

My breeder tank ;D

Hey, my Heckelii knows how to do the trick kiss
