Small dithers for GT?

[letstalkfish]

I'm looking for a small schooling fish that would make nice dithers for a tank with a medium sized green terror in it. Any suggestions?

 

[livebearerfreak]

what size tank? ( 55 gallon i hope? ) and BAT tetra ( bauno aire tetra ) school of 12 would be best.

Tiger barbs and giant danios for smaller to medium tanks work well. Sd's for larger.

Tank size?

As of right now 55, I think he may be going in my 75 though, we'll see. But for the sake of small dithers, lets say 55. I've heard BA's could be little fin nippers.

SD's are great no bio load and the eat crap. I like these blue rainbow fish I have beautiful colors and a lot of movement also their weird shape makes the harder to eat when bigger. Tiger barbs are also real tough, but can easily be eaten. You have some time with a GT they only grow about .5" a month and growth curbs at the 6" mark or so.

I'm not familiar with the abbreviation "SD"

EDIT: I'm assuming you mean silver dollars. Yuck, no thanks, and they get kind of big. Looking for something smaller.

Giant Danios work very well as dithers...fast and get decent size

I have a 10" Green terror I keep Buenos Aires Tertrs , Black Tetras, Colombian Bue/Red Tetras and Silver Dollars as Dithers and have never had any issues

It will depend on the fish... I was keeping Columbian Tetras with a 3.5-4 inch GT(notice the term was) and slowly but surely he cleared out the tank untill it was just him. The Tetras were not small either.
