Paracheirodon innesi
Description
Nice looking shoal fish which like to play with
fish of the same species (also with P. axelrodi).
My experiences
n my aquarium this fish gave a problem because they got infected with the "neon
disease" (where no good cure for is). Therefore the number of these
fishes in my aquarium has slowly decreased and at this time there is no
fish of this species left. Although it must be said that not all of these fishes
died because of the neon disease. The number of these fishes
which died, I replaced with P. axelrodi which can't be harmed with this
disease. In my opinion is P. axelrodi is also a stronger species than P.
innesi, although this opinion is not shared in most aquarium literature.
