Whatcha yooo talking bout Willis ?

magpie nice suggestion. Can they be kept unheated ?

The idea of keeping fish that don't wanna killi each other all the time is growing on me

white cloud mountain minnows. Cheap, common schooling fish that can handle a wide array of temperatures & ph. They don't need a heater.

I had them for a while, they were nice fish, but my comets ate them

Remember you should stock less with cooler water fish since the bacteria will work less efficiently.

I have kept white cloud minnows unheated, I have some celestial pearl danios right now, and I have had danio choprae in the past. I like them all, but from those three I would go for the choprae. Very pretty when the light catches them.

Where did you get your old australoheros red ceibals from ?

Yeah I like both maybe keep a group of both celestial and choprae with a school of panda corys.

I got the ceibals from a little mom and pop petstore, they occasionally would get oddball cichlids in. This was probably 15 years ago and I think the store is now closed, so not very helpful lol. But if you can find them they are cool little fish.
I think the two schools sounds like a good idea.

I have no idea why..maybe my age showing but I've grown to hate having to pay shipping lol I wish I had a decent source for fish in my area
