    I got mine by mistake essentially. I had neons, wanted to add something that was different but similar so got silver tips. Had to add more but so glad I did, they’re incredible fish! Can be territorial from time to time but they’re so cool!

    Yeah silver tip tetras😊 They are actually quite fun to watch and pretty hardy. Noticed in my group there seems to be a dominant male who is really easy to spot because he’s brighter orangish yellow than the others. 😊

    One neat thing about silvertips I heard is that if you bring your hand to the glass then instead of darting away like most little fish they swarrrm right to it, especially if you have a large group, which I imagine can be a fun and endearing experience

    Beautiful footage and good information as always. I also like your list of possible tankmates. I think they’d look great with pristella (x-ray) tetras. I also think they’d look awesome with glowlight tetras, which are about the same size and shape, but have that awesome orange line down their sides!

    For 3 days now I have been debating rummy nose or Silver tips for my 75gallon south American tank. I got 4 juvenile electric blue acara and a juvenile geophagus surinamensis all under 2 inches currently In the tank I want a tight schooling south American tetra to go with them. I need to know the best tetra for schooling. Love your videos thank you for doing what you do. ❤

    Can they be kept with roseline sharks? I have 10 roselines in a 180. How many would be appropriate?

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  Рік тому

      That would probably work just fine. In a 180 you could easily start with 20-30 and see how it looks.

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  Рік тому +2

      You could do a couple males with 6 or so females. They usually do well with Cory cats!

  • @t4ddg965
    @t4ddg965 Рік тому +1

    I love the colors of the males - but ended up with an imbalance in the amount of males to females. Several were very aggressive with all the tank mates. They were all intimidated- rummy nose, brilliant raspers, corys, even my sailfin Mollys started hiding. After watching 3 males run a female into the glass and not leave her alone, I think I found how I kept loosing the females.... I culled out 6 males and took them to the LFS. Replaced with what I hope are 6 females. There were a couple more males I would have liked to catch- but those suckers are hard to catch in a 125 planted tank. I had about 15, so about 9-10 were males when I culled the school. The tank settled down, and everyone comes out and swims around again. So I solved that issue. Really nice active beautiful fish.
