| Rummynose are sensitive but they can be a red flag too. Most people that keep them use the color of their noses to help them with their water. The brighter obviously the better  They are nice. White Skirts and Emperors would be nice too. Could you special order with you LFS?? Usually they don't charge extra, at least Ive never heard of it but they may make you pay half before they order them. Have you checked out AquaBid.com - Sell or buy aquarium related equipment and fish in an auction format!

| Okay, so I added a poll, since I am having so much trouble deciding what kind of tetra to get. I am just in love with all of them.
Also, I will be getting Otos too, how many would be a good amount for my tank? 3 maybe?

| I had two otos in my tank. You could probably get 3 in there.

| Okay, so it is decided that I am going to be getting some Emperor Tetras. How many should I get? I don't want to add too many, because I still have to get my Otos, and I might try for some Pygmy Corys, hopefully I can keep them alive if I do get them.

| Dern! Got here too late. I can't change your mind to White skirts? The Hi Fin White skirts are really pretty and elegant looking. And they are very hardy too.

Your not too late Roark
I was considering the White Skirts if they are less then the Emperors. Right now the Emperors are at about $6.50 for one, so maybe for them.
Bob, like I said before, I am not a fan for plecos. Other people may like them, but they aren't a fish that I would want personally.

| Well, one of mine was adopted. The other 2 cost in the $3 range per fish. Give or take just a little.
Fair warning on white skirts-they pick on each other alot. But they don't mess with anyone else in the tank. Well, one of them likes to steal food right from my DG's mouth. My DG hates him and chases him alot but no damage is ever inflicted. He also plays with algae wafers (the small ones). He catches them with his mouth, flips it up, catches it, swims around. I have a fish that performs tricks...
