Tetras that dont nip

[joem6376]

Hi, I have myself a betta with two honey gouramis but want to add a shoal of tetra and am just wondering which tetras I can have that will leave the betta in peace

Most tetras don't nip. The ones that do are the exception.

My favorites are rummynoses.

My red minor serpae tetras are quite nippy. They harassed a couple of mollies relentlessly. Had to move the mollies to another tank but they never quite recovered. My pristilla xray tetras are much calmer and very pretty...school tightly and the silver shimmers in low light. I don't know how they'd be with what you already have but they've been super peaceful in my community tank. The serpaes nip each other too. I'd definitely avoid them with a betta but maybe someone else knows if the xrays would work?

Ember Tetras are pretty tame. Blurry pic

Rummy nose form a very tight school and look very gorgeous and they don't nip fins.

Many and many tetras who aren't fin nippers at all.
