Top 10 in what way?

how popular and how"cool' looking they are.

Some of the "silver dollar" species can be quite spectacular.

Metynnis fasciatus

Metynnis maculatus

Myleus schomburgkii

Myleus rubripinnis

Myleus rubripinnis luna

With a max size of 9"-10" on the larger species, a small school can make quite the display.

while obviously part of the allure of fish keeping, i really don't see how starting this topic is going to further improve husbantry or be of any use to members. at the end of the day, this is still a discussion board. just something to think about. otherwise, i will leave this thread alone for now

The guy is looking for ideas on stocking his tank. Im not sure I understand what the problem is? Not that it's my issue, Im just trying to understand.

The top 10 Characins will NOT mix. Maybe he's trying to find out which of those top 10 will actually NOT kill eachother.

This place seems real quick to jump to assumptions lately I can't even count how many Characin threads have been started under iffy intentions and usually someone walks away with something. That's what this site's here for right?
