Tetras

[Scotty_uk]

Simple question, I had 5 rummy nose tetras, now only got 2

Do all types of tetras mix, so can I get some some Lemon, Sivertip and Jewel ones, so that they can shoal, or do I need to get more rummies

Cheers

in my experience all types of tetras or even danios mix together i have had both fish and the different types would work out fine with each other

i've found that they don't necessarily shoal together. my neons don't school with my black neons

Really, you should get more Rummy Nose tetras! They like to have at least 6 of their own species. Even if they don't always shoal, they like to have the safety of numbers there. Once you've got 6 Rummy Nose Tetras, why not then get 6 more tetras, such as lemon or silvertip (if you've got the room).

hi
our rummys & cardinals dont really shoal together but all hang around the same areas of the tank together quite happily.
we did have a lonely neon survivor (long story) who used to go for a swim every now & again with his cardinal tankmates but then he didnt have much of a choice really!
personally id get some more rummys as they are much happier in bigger groups.

Hi,

I have 6 Neon Tetras and 4 Zebra Danios and they are all inseperable. They are always schooling together in fact it is very unusual when you dont see them together.

in my fist tank i had cadinals , rummys, and glowlights and the cardinals and glowlights seemed to shoal but not the rummys.

I wish I could find some cardinals at one of the lfs around here.

I have 5 black neons and they school almost all the time with my 7 zebra danios. It's pretty cool to watch.

i find cardinals are very common around were i live, even more common then neons in fact.

You could always order them online if you want them that badly... places like trimar.co.uk

My tetras only school with the same kind most of the time.

I'm about to the limit of where I want to stock, so I'll have to wait until I convince my wife I need another tank When I do, though, I think I'm going to mail order some of cardinals.
