Hi all,

I have a 30 gallon long fish tank with apistogramma cacatuoides which type of tetras / rasboras do you guys recommend thanks a lot

Black Neon Tetra (<"Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi">) work well with Apistogramma cacatuoides.

Have a look at <"Dither fish">.

cheers Darrel

I think that's a good recommendation. My black neons tend to stay in the upper middle of the tank, out of the way of my cockatoos who tend to stick to the bottom. Plus, I've noticed that my black neons hover over the cockatoos as the cockatoos lift fallen food from the bottom, and then the black neons swoop in from above to help eat it. So, they almost work in tandem when it comes to feeding and cleaning up.

Another tetra that I think would do well is the lemon tetra, but they are a little bigger and messier than black neons.
