Paraguensis tetras gone south for the winter

[RussGB]

I bought a fistful of these guys at Houston Aquarium Warehouse (I paid for 15 but Dan's 15 is like 20 or more!). They are about 1" long, and get to be 1.75" fully grown. They aren't mean but they are very boisterous, and my tiny ember tetras are permanently hiding so these guys have to go. Anyone got any nice small peacefull fish they wanna trade? Maybe some neons or cardinals? Or Endlers live bearers? Must be tiny and peaceful.....  emial me at russgb@aol.com

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

I'd like them nothing to trade though. What u waNt for them

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

I counted 22 of them. I paid $20 for them....score me some nice cardinals or bright neons and we'll trade...If I sell them the cash goes back into the "family" budget never to be spent on fishies again!!!

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

Ok, I have 12 of these guys left. Come on someone must have some nice tiny fish or shrimps to trade?

These are small active tetras, not mean but certainly boisterous! Someone? Anyone?

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

I have plenty of endlers and I would love to trade but you live on the wrong side of town

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

AAAAgh! I would love to have some Endlers!

I got other stuff I need rid of too...Like 4 36" Coral Life CF fixtures and other bits and pieces...

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

I don't suppose you're planning a trip to the south side of Houston any time soon.........

I do need a matched pair of 36" fixtures for my 175 bowfront but I spent all my money on Bettas this month

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

I won't be for a while...I am swamped at work and I have to go out of town Friday till late Monday for a national championship slot car race in Atlanta (wish me luck!).

We could do swapsies on fish, and if you want a pair of lights, you can owe me till you have something you wanna swap for them...but you'll have to come get them. I am literally a mile and a bit from the BW before you get to 290....

Re: Anybody WTT my Paraguensis tetras?

Not what I would call NW houston, That's right down the street from where I used to work......  Panelmatic
I made the trip twice a day for 6 years but they fired me because I wouldn't work overtime without getting paid.
I prefer not to drive after dark.  Do you have any plans for this evening or tomorrow ?  Send me your phone# and address in a pm.

Re: Paraguensis tetras gone south for the winter

Thanks Russ
They are home now and in my jungle tetra tank.
They havecolored up really nicely but are not schooling.  More like small scattered groups.
Every once in a while one of my larger tetras will break up a group and they scatter and then find new groups to join or plant bunches to hide in.
May take them a day or two to rethink their game plan.

Re: Paraguensis tetras gone south for the winter

Day 2 and the color defination is great.  They are no longer trying to fly in formation
but the tank is only 4' and there are so many of them that they are seldom more than 10" away from another.
They seem to be minding their "P"s & "Q"s as I have not noticed any aggression towards my zebras,
I think the red fins have cured them of that.  That and the fact that they are the smallest fish in the tank.
