exactly what I thought when I saw them. I had to do a double take and make sure they were in the saltwater diversden section.

I had the saltwater tetra urge myself... a little group of very small fish really add something to a tank. :)

I agree, it would be really nice to have a group of say 10. but, I need more salt water experience. reminds me of my freshwater days.

lmao...I opened the link, then closed right away thinking a joke when I saw what I thought to be tetras....those seem like they would be kind of cool in a group of 10-15

Thanks for the link, from reading quickly through that thread it seems just a few years ago they were next to impoosible to keep alive, but there are a few on reefcentral that have groups doing well.

My aquarium has a few to many boisterous fish so it would not work out.

I have a group of 6 very similar fish called Orange Lined Cardinals. They are really fun to watch, but dont swim around too much. They get along well with the rest of my fish though voracious feeders.

these fish are awesome I might think about putting them in my 150...

I read up on them a while back. I heard they were really awesome as far as schooling fish. I wonder what they'd look like under some tricked out actinic leds.

On the reef central thread someone asked if they glow under Actinics and I guess the do not, but that would be a neat site.
