I saw a tank full of them in a pet market and was smitten, in love at the first sight! Thought they were the most elegant and beautiful fish in the entire (huge) market, better then discus and bettas even. I'm not sure why people call congo females drab, by the way... all congos I've seen were very pretty (but it's possible they only sell immature males here). Sure, mature males get the fancy tails and more iridescence, but even without it, the species is striking, imo. If you're not looking for fish with some personality, go for congos :) Add: they come in albino too, super-ethereal )) Edited March 26 by Fonske 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony s Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The indecision is just so suspenseful 😂. And really, one of the best parts of the whole thing 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 @FLFishChik If nothing time-restricted (like a sale) is pressing you to decide right now, my advice is just wait. Focus on something else for a while and decision will come naturally :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Well, I decided to go with Congo Tetra and Lemon Tetra! Lemons are already here and have been in the tank about a week. Congos should be here in about 5 days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDaksam Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Picked some Congo Tetras a few months ago. They are my favorite fish now. Active, good looking, and even eat cichlid pellets that aren’t intended for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 @FLFishChiki think they’re good choices hardy and beautiful. Although diamonds are better! Hahaha! I’m biased as I’ve got a big group and have bred them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a tough decision, but in the end I went with the fish that I’d been drooling over for months, lol. Maybe what I need is… ANOTHER 75g… so I can get Diamond Tetra and Praecox Rainbows 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender97 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I enjoy my Congo Tetra and they are getting a bit larger then advertised for me. No complaints but they do grow. That is a full grown female guppy beside them. I have bin debating when I upgrade from a 55 to an 80 how they might look with some Gouramis or if they well get along together at all.
