Thanks. There's a few different colors yes. I believe there is the normal Kerri tetra which can have some purple. A blue morph and a purple morph.

I have it. @Shadow helped me remember one. These guys would go very nicely with the orange (in addition to the aforementioned cardinals, glowlight tetras. complimentary colors for the orange would be anything that is blue, blue tetra (it's a thing) as well as the blue version of the emperor tetra. I would also think the purple, standard ones look nicely with them. Ember Tetras and Kerri Blues it looks I love the Kerri Blues, but I think they get kinda larger. Not large like Congos, but in between Cardinals and Congos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although getting all that fresh protein did trigger the plecos to spawn. 🤷🏻♀️ I have 4 bn in my 120 and they never touched the angel eggs; mostly because angel lay their eggs high.

FLFishChik Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 I may have to rethink putting Angels or Discus in this tank. We’ve discovered our water is Super hard- 300+ppm. Rather than chase parameters, I think it’s probably best to stock it with fish that can live with those conditions 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried angelfish twice, but they've never lasted more than about a year. I haven't followed this whole thread, but I wanted to mention that I have a group of turquoise rainbowfish in my 65 gallon tank and really like them. As far as I can remember I started with twelve in early 2020, and still have ten (I lost one to ich, but I don't remember what happened to the other one). If you're looking for suggestions you might give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
