Pictures Of Serpae Tetra Needed

[lljdma06]

The title is self-explanatory, but I would like to have to pictures of this lovely fish, Hyphessobrycon eques, for an article I'm doing for the TFF Newsletter. Any help would be greatly appreciated and your photo would credited appropriately. I keep Serpaes, and I have a few shots, but my photography skills aren't that great. I'll keep trying, however.

Thank you very much in advance,

Not unless the Newsletter staff gives the ok. Images from online originally came from elsewhere and you could possibly run into issues of copyright and giving proper credit. I would rather take my own photos, or have photos provided by fellow TFF members.

Thanks for the reply, however, those are some very nice images.

Unfortunatley it can't come from google as they involve copyright issues.

That is exactly what I thought, but your confirmation was good Bloo.

I own 6 serpae tetras...I can definatley take a picture later on tonight when the light comes on.


On the topic of serpae tetra's I do have a quick question for you. I have these guys in a group of 6 in a 65 gallon tank with 8 tiger barbs and 1 dwarf ID. I find the tetras are the most agressive when it comes to fin nipping, they really do some damage. Any idea? Do i need more of them to calm them down or something?

Anyways i will get some pictures up asap

I have a school of 8 and I haven't experienced any real aggression. Mostly just fin nipping amongst themselves. The fins heal quickly as well, if water changes are kept up. you should be able to add 2 more without a problem, though I don't know what an ID is. I don't know if it'll help your situation, but the more, the merrier, especially with tetras! The also appreciate a densly planted (whether real or fake, it doesn't really matter). The ones in the low end of the pecking order will appreciate extra hiding places. Thanks for the photos in advance.
