If you like the bloodfins you might also look at the Rummy Nose Tetra ;)

I plan to put a school of Rummy Nose in the 33 (but it's getting harder to find 'em, so might go with bloodfins)

Google Image search, third picture that came up.

[AndrewH]

My guess is that some are male/female differences, or it's a slight color variation.

[poel_19]

According to this site, they don't get the red bellies until maturity.

Oops, read it wrong... it was talking about the tail.

Welcome buddy, any time.

[poel_19]

[biggin]

I love rummy nose, they are some of my favorite. I am thinking about getting some for my 55. How are yours doing and where did you get them? I have not seen them lately. Just for Pets is a little far for me to drive if there is a closer place.

[biggin]

Just for Pets typically has them
Pet Boutique typically has them
Rift to Reef Typically has them
Plano Pets Typically has them
Exotic Aquatics Typically has them

They are almost a Petsmart/Petco fish....

see, I had them at one time, but I have never seen them at any chain store like that. When I do see them they don't look good.I will have to check Rift to Reef. I didn't remember seeing them the other day when I was in there, but they may have had a few. Thanks! :)

[biggin]

I do not remember the last time I was there but Dane has had them quite a few times I have been in there.

[lellison]

Awesome. I was just there last week, but I wasn't really looking for them then, so I didn't pay attention. haha. I will look, thanks again
