Red Point Honduran

[Delloy12]

What would be the best size for 2 red point hondurans (not a breeding pair)and what other friendly fish can be placed with them?

And would sand be a good substance for them?

3ft minimum. Other fish will be attacked if they breed.

Sand is great for hrp's.

Would you recommend white or black sand, is there any other friendly fish which are compatible to these guys. and Hi havent spoken to for a while

Yeah I know.

Darker substrates help the fish stand out more, but for fry its a pain as they're grey when born so you can hardly see them.

Other fish are do-able, but you will want something that is robust enough to deal with any attacks from protective fish.

I am going to try Lemon Tetra's with my Cutteri that are from the same/similar family. Columbian red fins would work too.

Alright, let me know how the lemon tetras hold up I'll give columbian red fins a wizz then

Just thought ill mention that these 2 hondurans will be in a 4ft tank, so shall i only haveColumbian red fins with them or could i have other fish which are about the same size as them?

You should be able to get away with a few other fish in there.

Swordtails and Platies would be fine. How about some spotted silver dollars? A little different.
