What tetras to finish off SA 75gal

[Khazmachi]

I need a little help deciding on a tetra to finish the stock on my 75. I have lots of fake plants, driftwood, and a couple rocks. Filtered with a cascade 1000 canister, Aquaclear 50 HOB, and Whisper 60 HOB. I currently have 1 Severum, 3 keyholes, and 3 angels. All are still juvies so hopefully they don't try to make snacks out of my new additions. I wanted to get Buenos Aires Tetra, but have read they can be nippy. Do you think in a group of about 10 they would keep it to themselves? Or should I find another tetra that won't go for my Angels fins?

A nice school of Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis is a sight to be seen.

The hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis aka "lemon tetra" is a very nice choice. I have a large school of Buenos aires in my 125g sa tank and they are very cool.

Thanks HUKIT! I'm glad to hear you suggest that. I thought they would be too small with a Severum.

I have also thought about Colombian Tetras, but any adult size ones I have looked at have looked kinda haggerd.

I have over 140 Hyphessobrycon anisitsi (buenes aires) throughout my house/fish room and they are great with all types of cichlids. The reason I choose these is they're bulky, quick, and cheap at Petsmart as they're on sale for $1 all the time!

I have a large school of Lemon and Colombian Red Fin Tetra in my tank with Discus, lovely fish. I recently replaced my Rummynose for the Colombians and its really made the tank come to life.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I was on the right track, and now have a few good options. Now it just comes down to what is in stock and healthy at the LSF

I love Colombians have a number with my rams.

I really like hemmigrammus ocellifer

I really like the Congo tetra!

 

[Malawimaddness]

Or the bleeding heart tetra

Congo tetras are nice but they are african fish

 

[Khazmachi]

Yea the guy at my LFS was really trying to push Congo Tetras, and Rainbows on me. He didn't seem to understand the SA theme. I agree that congos are pretty awesome and I'd like to have them in another setup someday, just not my current one

Ahhh that makes sense
