Hi guys

Went to LFS today

Got 3 of these guys. I did get the name of them but lost the bit of paper.

Anyone got any ideas please?

Possibly Hemiodus semitaeniatus? But I think hemiodus gracilis (Slender hemiodus) is what they are...as always, beautiful!

Love that red colouring in their tail. - nice.

They are sweet.
As our tank is technically my son's, I have to stand by and let him pick the fish that go in it. Drives me nuts when I see all the cool fish on this site!!

After using the evening reserching these fish. I have found out they are perfect dither fish for central & SA cichlids.thumbs2:

The term dither fish refers to a group of aquarium fish used by cichlid keeping aquarists to reduce timidness in some species of cichlids. :ssmile:

It isn't ignorance Pandora if you don't ask you don't learn. :ssmile:
