Thread: Need some color

  1. #1

    Default Need some color

    I would love to add some top level swimmers to my tank but would really love some color. Right now my occupants are all black and silver. Any ideas on what would go well with my current stock but add color also?

    Sandz, I love galaxy raspbora. one of my lfs carries them on occasion so maybe I'll get lucky and they will have them in again. I am transferring 4 corys & 3 ottos from my qt this weekend so I'll be able to get the qt set up for my next batch of fish!

    That's what I'd recommend also - a few male fancy guppies - they have very pretty coloring.

    Bowfins or Rainbows are top level swimmers, and both can be quite colorful.

    +1 on the rainbow fish & guppies, you can get pretty much any color you'd like and both are great community fish, males are more colorful.
