    I kept fish for over 40 yrs and got out completely when I sold my salt water tank. After about 5 yrs I was cleaning out my remaining small tanks and fell down the UA-cam rabbit hole came across your channel. Years of discus and angels taking up lots of space got me thinking small fish small tanks and getting back to enjoying the hobby on a smaller scale. Thanks for you information and beautiful scaping ideas.

    Here's another vote for White Cloud Mountain minnows. I especially like the longfin and Vietnamese varieties. My honorable mention is Ember tetras. In my experience, Ember tetras school tightly once you get a large group together. I had a group of 18 in a 20 gallon long. The fish would spend hours going back and forth across the tank in a tight group. Also, Ember tetras really contrast well against a planted scape.

    Need to try those red cherry tetras, they look stunning! I've recently fallen in love with the rasbora hengeli as small schooling fish, got 16 in my 60 gallon community, they are always together, upfront in the open and active. Plus that lovely small stripe of orange that pops from across the room without being overwhelming. Think I would like to see them in an even larger group.

    Ember tetra are another good one. My 11 green neons do swim around independently, but every evening they group together and swim back and forth up and down across the entire back of the tank , they look like they are playing together 😊

    My best schoolers are my harlequin rasbora! And so pretty. I have about 12 in a 29 gallon. I’m sure a 20 long would work too. And they are easy to find at LFS. I love the ones on this video! But I’m not sure I see them available locally. But I’ll look!

    I like this list. Plan to add a group of panda corydoras to my 40b that currently has some black neon tetras in it.
    I think the green fire tetra aka rathbun's bloodfin are an overlooked gem for a small schooling or shoaling fish.

  • @SequoiaElisabeth
    @SequoiaElisabeth 4 місяці тому +1

    I can't help but notice 3 of the fish are tetras. I totally agree with you about tetras being good schoolers. Most of the nanofish will be great schoolers since their M.O. is to school in large numbers for protection. This behavior may not hold up in an aquarium with no predators.

    I have green fire tetras, which also have tipped fins, and they're so mesmerizing to watch. They are in a tank with panda cories, BN plecos, and mystery snails... lots to watch but I think I need, oh, maybe 30 more of the tetras? I want a huge cloud of fish like in your video!

Looking for something for the 20 long, my porkchop rasbora are down to two fish after 5 years. The tank needs new life. I was holding off for my rummynose rasbora, but they are really hard to find around here. 💚💚

    Could I please have some help? I am a beginner. I have a 10 gal tank. I have had it for over a month, and I have some live plants. I am having a horrible alge problem. It is a brown alge on the walls and stones. I scrubbed the walls and cleaned the couple of fake plants. I have a filter, light, and a bubbler. I have 3 neon tetras, a beta, mystery snail. The tank is not near a window. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
