Shoaling is a group of fish staying together in general proximity. Schooling refers to fish moving in a coordinated manner. So your tetras can be cruising about loosely shoaling, but when you feed them or they get a fright and all start moving in unison then that’s schooling.

Good point on emphasizing the acidic ph that the rummy nose prefer and thrive. Many become frustrated because they die off early and this is simply because ot the ph. A lot of tetras including cardinals and neons would really show off their intense coloration if the water is on the acidic side. I keep mine between 7.2 to 7.4 & they have been thriving for almost 4 yrs now.

Just a boatload of the best information we've been fortunate to get and I have to say that the majority of your files are much more retainable for whatever you have discussed and off the top..... Angels , Amanos , Ropefish , pygmy Cory's , Rams , and Archer's!!! Now I'm remembering a few more but the whole of everything that you do is majorly appreciated and you are head's and tails better than 99% that do KZbin and hopefully you have things lined up with the areas that you can contribute to growing the channel? I'm sure not any sort of YT expert but my feeling that you would be a great channel to be associated with like NT Labs has before and hopefully you can get the old Rolodex and see what's up ? There's so many Companies that have very little or no bites off of social media apple that could always benefit from a Shark like yourself and watching some of the channels that were just at INTERZOO it won't surprise me if you have a chance to get some of the getting from reaching out to OASE etc. Wonder what was the reason for them to be a no show this time around ? ☯️💟

I got my rummynoses by surprise actually. I was at Vivarium last year and visited the Aquabeek stand for silvertip tetras. You know how these conventions are. I was sure I had secured to bags of silvertips when I paid for them, but one bag was silver tips and the other one was rummynoses. They are doing quite well I think, although there are just six of them. Started out with seven, but one decided to explore the drop checker which wasn´t a smart idea obviously. They often school together or they shoal with the cardinals and silvertips (if the silvertips feel like shoaling because there are more males than females and they're almost all territorial). I'm considering moving some silvertips though because of the male/female inbalance. No one is getting hurt, but they do chase other fish around.

That's a good and bad thing at the same time, silver tips can be a bit grumpy unfortunately.

My P.H. is 6.2 thru 6.8. But I have hard water at 150-175. How is this possible? With low P.H. shouldn't you have softer water? Or am I just confused on how that works? 🤔

Is the whole "playing dead" thing common to all Tetra species? I had to transfer my Cardinals and Neons to another tank, and each and every one of them played dead -- one even turned its blue stripe to an orangish-red color, and then colored back up within seconds of being released into the new tank. I still have two neons in the original tank that have proven impossible to catch. As an aside: Cardinals and Neons seem to school (shoal) together quite nicely!

@williammcdowell62575 ай бұрын
All good stuff, but in my experience they are vulnerable to temperature shock, if for example using a hose to top up and the shoal swims into a cold water stream, they will often die, and to be picky, other tetras seem more robust. I certainly wouldn't keep them below 24 degrees centigrade, if kept in cooler tanks they seem vulnerable to diseases, again that is simply my experience. Cooler tanks extend the life of some fish but not the Rummynose species. I have no experience of breeding them successfully but they will spawn in a well planted soft water tank, if well fed etc., mine spawn quite regularly and devour the eggs with gusto. Interestingly my Bentosi tetras tend to spawn at similar times to my Rummynoses - perhaps a modest water change, golden sunlight hitting the tank are factors.
