I am in the process of stocking my 4' tank and i have started with 6 red eye tetra's (Moenkhausia Sanctaefilomenae).
The problem I have with them at the moment is they are still hiding in amongst the plants at the back of the tank...
My thoughts were if I added another 6 of them it might encourage them to come out a little more... Safety in numbers...
Does anyone have any experience with them... Also what size will they eventually grow to??? one of my books says 7cm and the other 5cm?
I would also like some opinions on what I plan to add to the tank.
12 red eye tetras (thats all of the ones above...)
12 Phantom Tetras
4 Bronze Cory/catfish
2-4 Discus (once the rest of the tank settles down)
That should take me to about 190cm of fish.
Cheers!
