[PreviewHD]

do you have a current it looked like the fish in the background where swimming against a current.. I want to add something like a stream'ish current as long as they have a place to hide.

Yes, there is a powerhead drawing tghrough the under gravel filter in this tank.

I love these!

[pondguru]

When they're in a dark tank they do look just like a cluster of swimming diamonds - very unusual effect.

[animalmastermtd]

@pondguru That sounds pretty awesome right there.

[pondguru]

They're a nice fish, which makes me wonder why you don't see them in shops very often.

@pondguru They are very dull when they're juvaniles, so many fish stores don't keep them in stock, since they're so often overlooked...but they are GORGEOUS aren't they

[pondguru]

Same with emperor tetra, not many places have them but they are a really nice species.

[blownable]

Sigh, for some reason I always confuse them with congo tetras

[pondguru]

They are not too dissimiliar and quite nice once the sparkly diamond pattern comes through with age.
