Do all tetras need a planted tank.

[nitro]

Probably a strange question but...

Could you keep tetras in a tank with no plants in it?

Or would they feel too unsafe without plants around them?

It would be beneficial to have some plants, but as long as they are in a large school they should be fine.

On the contrary, certain tetras come from areas where no plants exist at all. But they certainly don't mind plants, from what i've noticed, especially the more timid tetras.

P.T.

thanks for replies.

Do you know any of the tetras which dont live in planted rivers?
