Red eye tetra with guppies?

[CrimsonBlayde]

I recently was asked to rescue two fish. They turned out to be red eye tetra. I have a heavily planted 30 gallon tank with guppies and platies. I am finding mixed info about red eyes with guppies. Am I safe adding them to my tank or do I need have my LFS take them?

Thanks.

I've never had a red eye br aggressive towards anybody

My red eye tetras killed all my ghost shrimps.

Like most tetras, the more there are, the less prone to becoming aggressive they are. So with only two, I'd suggest either getting more or seeing if your LFS will take them. It's your tank though.

These guys were alone in a 10 gallon for 3 years. Will they still school up with other red eyes?

They are currently in my QT. I am trying to slowly adjust their water. It has been months since their previous owners did a pwc. Top offs only left the water extremely hard and toxic!
