Red ruby pencilfish, coral red, Peru Red (Nannostomus mortenthaleri)

[Fish from Philly]

Just picked up two for my 150 gallon with dozen discus and variuos tetras and corys. Does anyone else keep them together? If so, I def like to get more!

I've had 3 regular pencilfish with my 8 discus (4.5" - 6") for about 9 months now with no problems. Not sure if there's much difference with the red varieties of pencilfish. I also have a dozen or so tetras and corys. I really like the pencilfish. I plan on getting more when I upgrade to a bigger tank sometime in the near future.

I have 1 as a test in my 125 right now, if all is well after a week I am moving the other 4 there also. They are by far the best looking pencil fish, and at least in my tanks were more calm then regular pencils.
