Favorite tetra.

[Coursair]

I love a big shoal of Neons or Rummynose. Congos are lovely. I really liked my Glowlights. They seem under appreciated by most.

Your mistake for mixing those types of fish
Not really funny at all. You keep joking about it. Not all of us are laughing.

Youre right Cour i didnt laugh either, i dont really care if his neons got eaten. Anyway lets keep the thread about the types of tetra you like best.
I keep pristella xray tetra and theyre kool with a ton of character when they settle.

Those exodons look really really kool.

Those exodons look really really kool.

Highly aggressive. Basically the are referred to as "a poor mans piranha".

I plan to do a tank of them one day. Working on my large project at the moment so no time.

It's nature. I find it amusing.

Lemon Tetra...I like the subtle yellow color and the red "eyeshadow".

 

[molliwopp]

Yep another tetra i wanted to keep when i started my first tank. Being a beginner i got scared at the last minute about my ph and hardness.

Colombian or neons!

My top tetra's, I have all 5 in my 70 gallon

1,Columbian tetra x6
2,Black widow tetra x6
3,Neon & cardinal tetra x6
4,X-ray tetra x8
5,Purple emperor tetra x2

I also have 6 ember tetra's, gone of them a little now though they're in the big tank. I had a 12g custom planted with them in before.

My first choice is the venerable Serpae tetra followed by the Rummynose!

I know neons are the 'go to' tetra but they look neat in a planted tank.

I adore Cardinal Tetras. There are few people who don't appreciate a large school of them

 

[TXaggie]

My favorites are the Emperor Tetras. Super fun to watch, always up to something. I love the blue sheen on the males too.

Rummynose is a close second for me, but I can't keep them unless I do partial RO in my tank - not ready for the time/cost commitment to that yet.

I also have a school of neons, because they do look great with plants!

 

[Anthym]

Rummynose for me. I love watching my little guys

 

[Oohitsae]

hmm, I'm going to have to go with Cardinals. 2nd would be rummynose.

I don't currently have any tetras in any of my tanks, but once I clear out some stock, one of those 2 varieties will be next on my list!

I'm a fan of the Green Fire Tetras. They're great when they mature. I just wish I could find more around here

 

[molliwopp]

Ive grown a huge soft spot for cardinal tetra after completely avoiding neons and cardinals until now.

 

[Old Scales]

Tetras, tetras. All are great. Like it says under my name. "Adipose fins are cool". OS.

 

[candacecook1025]

I adore the rummynose tetras as well!
