Since I parted out the majority of the black neons to my daughters 20g's some time back, I've been wanting to get some more schools put in. The bleeding hearts we got with the initial stocking seem to have either turned deep red or faded to pale pink/white over the last year. Not really as cool as we thought they would be. We're looking for some bigger tetras / barbs that have some solid color as well.
So far we're looking at columbian tetras or potentially some diamond tetras. Had thought about some green tiger barbs or something similar as well. The bleeding hearts have a super deep body of a bit over an inch and are about 2" long.. so given that the chocolates are still around 2" any schools we add wil have some time to pack on size before the chocolates get anywhere near the ability to try fitting one in their mouths.
