Title: Pics of New Congo Tetras : )
Post by: Aquamaid on January 07, 2015, 07:08:30 PM
Well my 6 new C T's have ventured  far enough out for me to take a few snaps, they really are beautiful, all iridescent and what fins, like wings, mmm such a waste of a long tank at the moment though  :-\

Wow - very nice and lovely long tank.  Once they're less overwhelmed by the wonderful space that they have, I'm sure they'll be swimming around enjoying it in no time. :)  Enjoy!

Well done you!!

Thanks all, we've had a very daring few mins of exploring the other end of the tank   :fishy1: so things are looking up, and maybe when they get 6 more friends, they will be even braver (after no doubt being very put out lol)

Thanks all, it's still work in progress need to improve plants and get background sorted, it's just bubble wrap at the mo and they tend to blend in during the day lol, Mmm still looks tad small for rainbows, but if i can find right ones, then maybe  :)

Hi AM,

Yep you got some nice looking fish there. I was watching these myself, last weekend, in my local MA shop. Plenty of room for them to swim in your tank. To big for mine "at the moment". ;)

Thanks all  :) Well Mike, i don't know what your set up is, but if i had smaller tank i would probably go for Diamond Tetras, like pic attatched, they sure do glisten and only get to about 6cm i think.

Got 3 more Congos today, was a bit dissapointed as they were rather small but must say one of the males has fantastic colours already, so just goes to show : ) size and such lol. The new 3 are still a bit seperate at times, but so far i have found these fish to be so placid, they don't seem to squabble at all, and are a pleasure to watch now they are playing "follow the leader" across the tank   :))
