Top-Dwelling Fish

[SilverDollar_03]

Does anyone have any top-dwelling fish in their tank, other than harlequin rasboras (cant get them)? I need some topdwelling fish for my tank, and have had alot of trouble finding some nice looking top dwellers! does anyone know of any??

by the way, im looking for tropical community fish, that will work well with my 4 silver dollars, 3 swordtails, and 5 corys!

THANKS!

Tank Levels:

pH- 7.0
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite- 0
Nitrate- 20

Zebra danios would be a good choice for a top dweller. they are very active too.

Ooooo...hatchetfish! Very different...the marbled ones are very pretty.

great! keep listing them guys, i want as many choices as possible! thanks!

i dunno about the hatchetfish though. they arent very good-looking. and they look to much like my silver dollars. i want some variety

African Butterflyfish

Yeah but African Butterflies are murder (literally) on anything that gets too close to their territory which is the surface. If it's small enough, they'll just eat it.

Pfft, Hatchetfish are awesome! I have some in my tank. You just have to watch for them jumping out

[Jae1525]

Yeah. Go for the butterflys!

There gonna be in my 40 gal post cycle.
They will get rid of all the fish u have under 4 inches! Cant say fairer than that!

I have a silver hatchet. My biggest weather loach is also a top dweller. lol Really, he sites on the plants at the surface of the water!!

no idea on the compatability but I,ve got white cloud mountain minnows mooching around the top of my tank.

They dont do much, but they are pretty and peaceful and nice.

these african butterflyfish. will they do ok in a 7.0 ph?? and will they eat my corydoras?? cause i wanna keep them!

They'll be fine in a 7.0 pH and wouldn't eat bottom dwelling Cories normally though Cories do come to the surface to gulp air sometimes so they might go at one, not really sure.
