Lots of pics past and present

I'm loving those heros! How is the temperament of the chalceus? Are they jittery? And do they still smash food?
Thanks Hendre,
The chalceus are quite peaceful. I lost 3 of them and was worried that the remaining 3 would start picking on each other but so far they have been fine. I would like to add some more but it's been hard finding any big enough to avoid being eaten by my ray.
Lovely fish i really rate them and very greedy.Can be a little skittish but nothing too bad.

Yeah I miss mine. I think they aren't very hard on each other tbh
 
Inspirational update as always pal, great job.
 
All my research told me to keep them in groups of six or more to avoid aggression. I will keep a close eye on them but so far so good.
Same. The guy I sold mine to had a smaller duo in a different tank and they were chill as well

Yes, this is the case with most tetra species. I am wondering if it's really keeping them in even numbers. I had 6 astyanax bimculatus. Lost one, had 5. One of the 5 got picked on and died. Have 4 now and no more fighting.
