manticore Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 In fact it is called Aphyocharax rathbuni. I personally love them, not large, nice and cute, easy and hardy. Keep at least 10 - 15 of them. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manticore Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 i have worked with them in the valenta aquaristik shop in germany, i kept them for about 2 years there, estimated 200 individuals. sorry if i have to provide now pictures and i cannot do so, i really kept permanently about 230 warmwater and 30 saltwater species. if it is not ok this kind of answer i can stop giving any advise on them. They resemble somewhat to cardinal tetras or hasemania marginata as lenght, only it is not necessary keeping them in very large numbers. 10-15 would do. 73-79 fahrenheit, black larvae, normal small fish food are perfect food for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
