Caudopunctatus "Red Fin"

Np, always happy to help. Can't wait to see how the tank is going to look. Never had any neolamps but always wanted to get a tank full of em, just not certain what kind I want tho.

Do you know of any fake plants that would look good in this tank? My other tanks have real plants so I’m not sure which ones will look realistic... also I added some rocks to the tank to add some more cover for the fish!

Figure out how to stack the rocks in piles so they form some caves as the fish will enjoy them more.

You can use Anubias sp. 'nana' and Java fern or Microsorum pteropus as they can be tied or super glued to rocks or driftwood, just be sure the rhizomes are not buried in any substrate.

Imo I would go with something that either looks like an underwater bush or even hair grass. Honestly not too familiar with brands when it comes to fake plants, lol I usually just try to go with what looks good.

Moved some of the rocks to form three small caves...

They’re very fun little fish to own! And I actually spotted a second group of fry today!

Caudo Punks are a shell dwelling species. Throw in a bunch of escargot shells from Amazon. They will breed like rabbits

They’re currently going off haha I’ve had 4 batches hatch already and have close to 60 fish in my 29 gallon...
