Yanni Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I want to get some dither fish that can handle higher temperatures and handle higher flows. It's going to be a 40 gallon breeder with a group of leopard frog plecos. I'd like to keep a community of fish that can handle higher temps and flow. Was thinking of geophagus but they get too big or some tetras but I'm not sure which ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one video of them in reasonably high flow: And here's another video from a neat aquarist in Switzerland showing them being added in with some young Geophagus . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Gold laser corydoras work for leopard frog plecos? Will they be ok with the hotter temps of 80-82? Or should I try a different bottom dweller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 @YanniI know Sterbai can handle that temp and on one of the Catfish forums they also talk about Adolfoi, Duplicareus, and Pygmaeus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) As long as your tetras have some were to rest out of the current most tetras species will do fine in higher flow tanks Columbian blue tetras are a colourful tetras Edited January 17, 2022 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Maybe Platies? Mine seem to handle what I'd consider high-flow well and they roam everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Rummy Nose Tetras would be a good option if you want lots of movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Depends on what you consider 'higher temps'; but Zebra Danios like temps up to 82. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
