My tank will be cycled soon, can anyone recommend small hardy fish tetras if possible. Does anyone know what glow light tetras are like.

Generally, yes.Are Ember tetras a hardy fish.
...you can have as few as 4 of them...
...They're hardy little shoaling fish, and you can have as few as 4 of them if you wish, and just get other shoaling fish to join with them...
Do some more research online.. never trust a single source. You would be much better off looking at 10 and taking the average, on average.Im just going by what my book says.
Some similar bodied fish will school together when there are not enough of their own kind.. that does not mean that it's a good alternative to real schoolsAnd that not entirely true, my friend has five neon tetras and five black neons and they happily shoal together.
That name is ringing bells over here, and not the good ones. I'll have a look at home this evening to see if I have anything by her.. but basically, it's very easy to get a book published, but that doesn't mean that it's right. I would recommend that you raid the internet for knowledge, but if you really want good books, I can recommend AquaLog and Aquarium Atlas: you will find that they will not have any stocking information (because it is usually quite silly, giving that), but they are excellent for learning how to identify fish.As I said, I'm no expert, im just going by what my book says its written by Gina Sandford who is a breeder of fish, so if she's incorrect then why is she saying 4 fish is enough? And why does she say its ok to put 4 of each in and they will shoal together?
+1 start with only 6 of one..I'm only looking to stock cardinal tetras and maybe ember tetras are the two ok together. How many could I stock in a 48ltr tank.
