After not finding the eques for months for a tetra community, I got beckfordi- and love them. A few weeks in and they are spawning, which is really fun to watch! I was about to do a big plant trim, but they are spawning in the overgrown plants :)

My Beckford pencilfish are the only fish I’ve ever owned that got tuberculosis (from what I researched, that’s what it was due to the bent spine). I got them from Petco, a school of 6 about two years ago. I’m down to my last one that in the last couple days has gotten that telltale curved spine. :(

I have pencilfish and I love them! They are curious, brave, hardy, active fish! Can someone please advice if they could get along with zebra danios? Both species spend time on the top layers of the aquarium and I worry if they would compete.

Was looking for a schooling fish for my 29 gallon. I think I wanna go with the eques cuz it looks adorable lol. Also want to have khuli loaches, a bushy nose pleco, and a Dwarf Gourami. Wanted an angelfish too, but I dont know if it's safe for the eques pencilfish once it gets big.

I have the same question. I had three in a cherry shrimp in planted tank. Never saw them attack a female. Did see number of shrimplets and then it was harder to spot them so I took them out I do have two Kuhli Loaches in there too, so it may be them. They are more difficult to catch, so they are next.
