Pencil Fish

Pootspete · Dec 28, 2002

I have always loved Pencil Fish. Would they be alright in my community tank of tetras in my 15 gallon. The only thing I worry about is the Lemon Tetras and the Serpae's not getting along with these lovely fish?

What do you think?

Thanks.

Pencilfish might get fin-nipped by the Serpae tetras, especially in a small tank like the 15 gallon. They might be OK if the tank is bigger.

Here's more info on Pencilfish and Serpae tetras:

Thanks Archer for the links. The Serpaes were my main concern. I guess a male beta will also be a bad choice to share a tank with these guys also, huh?

Oh well, maybe I will get another tank one day and I can put them in it. I just love to watch their swimming movements.

Thanks again!
