Gotta love roselines ! I have a big super school of 24 in my 240 gallon tank. They do get bigger than 4 1/2 inches, more like 5 to 6 inches. Most of mine are around 4 1/2 inches, a couple of them are 5 inches, and there’s one that is a whopping 6 1/2 inches. Pretty sure the previous owner super-fed them or something

Agreed, I had a few def in that 6” range when they get older. And I disagree with the 3-4 school as I’ve found they can actually be a bit nippy/aggressive when kept in small numbers. I’d still say 6+ for these guys I started with 9 and kept 7-9 for a few years before giving them to my in-laws.

Cherry barbs are awesome looking as adults. The females may not be solid red, but carry a lot of color on their fins and metalic tones on their bodies. They look great as a mixed-sex school. Espei rasboras are also a great looking smaller alternative to harlequin rasboras. The only other schooling fish I can personally recommend is neon blue dwarf rainbowfish.(Praecox). They are great, fast-moving, males and females look stunning and they are hardy. Great video!

Roseline Sharks are super expensive. I regularly see them at $25 a piece.

@@darkehorse71 On the wholesale side the price is all up to the size - these fish come from breeders in Malaysia and from Indonesia, and if they are in that colorful 3 inch size you are going to see them in the pet store for about $25, but my cost, and retail cost, for the smaller juvenile 2 inch size is half of that, so you should see them in the store for around $12 to $14.

I just lost a school of hatchet fish due to my dumb assery in not realizing that when my mother came to visit, she rearranged the way I had my cords plugged into the wall socket/power strip. Apparently, the filter to the 55 gallon that housed said school of hatchet fish drained after it was unplugged and ran dry until it broke. I totally did not notice until the fish developed itch and despite me raising the temperature to 86 degrees, they all croaked. However, the white skirts, khuli loaches, and bristle nose survived and are doing well. Thanks for giving me ideas for a new school but rest assured I will give it some time before introducing any new fish. Is there a specific time someone should wait after an inch outbreak before introducing new fish? I did not add any chemicals, only raised the temp. The surviving fish have been parasite free for 2 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.

At least 14 days. This is the life cycle normally. Longer if you can.

Wow, you were really down on the female Cherry barbs' colors. I think the female Cherry barbs look great. They aren't just a drab brown.

On another KZfaq channel I found out there is a hobbyist who mass breeds cardinal tetras near Compton in CA. Dan's Fish also sells a lot of fish that are bred and raised in the USA by hobbyists.

How do you rank Emperor Tetras?

@randyhegstad5754 2 ай бұрын

I would put emperor tetras high except that they are finicky - once they settle into a fish tank they are great, but you need to make sure water is clean, temperature always above 75 degrees for those first few days.

Neon tetra: "Very hardy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@randyhegstad5754 2 ай бұрын

I know lots of issues can come up with neons, but compared to cardinals they are a piece of cake. And yes barbs and rasboras (except maybe chili) are tougher, but neons from good breeders are very tough. BUT neons are tough as long as they are handled well along the distribution chain. This is really where so many hobbyists are running into problems at the final point in the store. All the Asian exporters offer neons so pricing gets very competitive and a few of these breeders push growth too fast and overpack the bags in transportation to offer the lowest price. We avoid those sources (we learned the hard way) and don't have issues....but yes from different sources these fish can be fragile.
