You've gotten neons to breed? The closest I've seen was my Glo-lights (sp?) and they spread eggs around... they didn't last, but it was cool.

No I have not. This will be my first freshwater tank. I said "supposedly" meaning I have to take their word for it.

Cardinals are great; I like Rasboras too. There's zillion nice tetra species. Wuss fish rule.

Oh man, now you're talkin'. Do you know how many set-ups I sold just because of my tetra tanks? They wanted theirs to be just like mine.

This is definately on the must have list.

CELESTIAL PEARL DANIO

every time i see them i think of brook trout. they are fairly new in the trade so theirs not a lot of info.

Added glo-lites today. I put the goldfish back in the other tank. He was probably like, "Crap!... no room again!"

What the heck? Who moved my thread???? Grrr.

I always loved Rummy Nose Tetra.

Let's see some pics John!

Don't be the new Len!

Those danios are gorgeous.

Rummy Nose Tetra.

Classy! I like them.

Unsure about the celestial danio though. With some exceptions (koi, discus) I'm usually lukewarm about cultivars, or whatever they call em.

Don't worry, this forum is cool.

Here's the latest pic with my phone - not the best.

I think it looks great! Nice placement of plants. Good range of heights and color.

Thank you, Sir. The two white columns are actually bubbles. You can't see the tubes unless you really look for them, and they're hidden in the back, behind the vertical plants(intake tube) and the very high horizontal plants on the top of the tank (return tube) in the way back.

The good news is all the Glo-lites survived the night (always a down fall in my tanks ), and they're eating again this morning! Whoo hoo!

If anybody wants more info on the Celestial Pearl Danios you can do a search for Microrasbora Galaxy which was the first name they were given, you'll find a lot of info that way.

FWIW in a big community tank you won't see them since they're skittish and take to hiding in the plants.

They really do look similar to pygmy Brook Trout. Me likely.

I thought that image was photochopped.

Is this a 'man-made' fish, or a wild specie?

I remember seeing the spotted danios whenever we got in shipments of zebras, and I would separate out the spotted ones, put them into their own tank, and I called them "trout danios", sold 'em for $.50 more.
