How long has the tank been up and running as some tetras like a mature tank also how big is it?

Well i bought some Black Pahntom Tetra's only a few weeks back, They settled in fine and are great to look at- They are easily distinquished between male and female also they are hardy. i picked mine up for about £1.00 each at my lfs - I recommend them

i like looking at just about all my tetras and i think you should consider:
Glowlites
Neons or Cardinals
x-rays
Black phantoms
Blood fins

Out of those i would definatly recomend Cardinals as they are so pretty

I love rummy nose tetras for some reason. Get a nice school of those and you'll have a hard time taking your eyes of your tanks. - Thats what I would go with anyways.

neon tetras are always instering to me. and they are soo cute when they school!

Gold tetras are neat! Get a school of them. I have two so far.
Also, blind cave tetras are fun!

I wouldn't recommend black phantom tetras,x-ray tetras, or red eyed tetras because even though you have them in schools like I do they hide all the time while the lights are on but move around alot when the lights are off or when they are being fed. I won't be getting any more of these fish because of how they behave.

Red eye tetras are cool they are really funky.You will have to gt atleat 5 though.

I like black phantom tetras. Especially the males when they show off by flairing their dorsal fin. I also enjoy the beautiful colors of my cardinals.

How big is your tank??

How heavily planted is your tank durbkat. Many fish like a lot of plants or other decorations for security reasons. If there are a lot of places for them to zip into if they get scared then they are more likely to come out into the open because they feel safer. If there are few or no plants/hiding places then the fish will find the darkest corner of the tank and hide there waiting for darkness to come out.
