Tetras - Characins

Tetras/Characins are one of the most widely available species of tropical fish, with the Neon Tetras being one of the worlds most commonly kept aquarium fish. Most species of tetras are schooling fish and will not show their normal behavior patterns or colors unless the are kept with a minimum of at least six individuals of the same species, with more being better.  Most tetras can easily be kept with peaceful species such as dwarf cichlids and catfish. Larger fish should be avoided as they can dominate the tank and eat these smaller tetras.
