Columbian Tetras

[rleigh]

Does any one have Columbian Tetras ?
My Local Fish Store got in a large shipment and they did not know much about them.
They are bluish with red tails and red dorsal fins.
Questions:
1. How big will they get ? These are 1.5inches
2. Special needs ?
3. Are they compatable with lemon, serpae, phantoms & razboras ?
Thanks
Randall

Hi Randall

I have Colubian Tetras mate and they dont get much bigger than 2". They dont seem to have any special needs and they should be ok with the tetras and rasboras. I have 10 in with harlequin rasboras, golden barbs, black neons, glowlights and I also have six 3/4" glowlight rasboras in the same tank and they dont bother any other fish.

Thanks for the info.

A fish that IMHO looks drab in the LFS. But after a month or two of a good healty diet and good water conditions they should colour up nicely. I love the blue body with red fins. I'd recommend at least six like other tetras. Very hardy fish
