usually when people complain about bad color with their rummies, it can be solved easily. Add More rummies. Their stress level will diminish as their numbers increase.

@ShiebMo Thanks, nice tip!

hi, great tank!

However those tetras look more like firehead tetras (Hemigrammus bleheri). Nice fish whatsoever :)

[hotmadras]

@VrabiaHipnotica Thanks for stooping by. Could well be... they look very similar.

They could well be False Rummynose or there could be another reason for their lack of colour, although it sounds like you have perfect tank mates for Rummynose and your water is good. Hmmmm..You could always try buying a couple more from different fish store just for a colour comparison? Thanks

i think i have false rummynose tetras, because their heads are a dim red, and i did several water tests, and it came out okay. i have 4 of them with 6 cardinal tetras, 4 lemon tetras, a bushynose pleco, 3 pepper corys, and 2 female guppies

@CheeseUhh - OK in that case, time to get you video camera out and post it up. Thanks

@hotmadras Your welcome! Just searched Otocinclus Catfish but those aren't them. Their mostly clearish but they have a little black pattern on them.

@CheeseUhh @CheeseUhh Thanks for the kind comments. Maybe your catfish is an Otocinclus? Small, fairly dark in colour and always on the go, loves courgette or in your country Zuchini ;-). Thanks!

Absolutely LOVE your tank setup and your fish. I actually just got some red minor serpae tetra yesterday and two catfish. Cant remember what the name of the catfish they are, but they dont get bigger than an inch.
