Has anybody out there every kept these fish? If so can you tell me about - are the community fish? What can swim with them?

Appreciate any feedback as I like the look of them but don't know anything about them>

Hi and thanks so much you guys! I was in the pet store yesterday and saw these guys "in the flesh, or should I say in the scale" for the first time. They were in with local australians (barra) which I told the pet store wasn't a good idea....

Beautiful fish! I think you made an excellent choice!

Debi

Yep I think so too. They have settled into the tank with the others very well and swim in schools with the lemon tetras. It's amazing how they have synchronized their swimming already... I love them. With or without the light on they are beautiful. Their colours even catch the natural light and they have such nice temperaments.
