Bucked-toothed Tetra

[ECCO_]

Hey,
I just wanted to know where could I find and purchase bucked-toothed tetra's?
Also, how to care for the? I know they are aggressive and are have and appatite for eating fins, but just wondering.

You could ask CFC, he has a shoal of them. Attractive, but evil little sods.

a decent LFS (not a chain) should be able to order you in some exodons, unless they are prohibited in your state .
the best thng to do is start with a group of at least 10,
this will be thinned down by themselfs over time (I started with 11 and now have 9)
they will do more than eat fins, they eat fish and are best kept in a species only tank
however armoured fish like spotted or stripped doras or larger corys are a good tank mate. helps keep bottom clean too .

Mine are currently in a 20G but that will be too small for adults, so they will be moved into a 42G soon.
Adults have the potential to reach 6" although 4" is more likely in an aquarium.
feeding should be a varied meaty diet, but they will accept flakes and catfish pellets(at least mine do)
