what to have for a shoal?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Instead of giant danios, I'd put regular danios in. I'd also expect 'em to get eaten once in a while, and replace as needed, but at 2 for a dollar....
 
regular silver dollars dont get that big, the most commonly seen species. Others like those mentioned below do get large.
 
O.K thanks guys

how about lemon finned barbs? or tinfoil?

lol your are right with danios, they aren't expensive!

thanks
Matt
 
tinfoil barbs get like 12 inches...not a good choice

tiger barbs are quick and grow to like 3 inches and are pretty aggressive. they MAY be able to live w/ the larger fish, but will probably eventually get caught. just watch for fin nipping.
 
If you're really in Hartford, forget the channa. It isn't worth going to jail over a fish
